- 5. Caveat • We do not dictate workflow! No one solution fits all.
- 6. Challenges: Set-up & Hyperlinking • Content and labeling are not always consistent or useful. • Hyperlinking can be a long, manual slog.
- 7. Let’s see Revu in action!
- 8. Best Practices: Set-up & Hyperlinking • Content is not consistent and labeling is not useful. AutoMark rules, but early communication is best. • Hyperlinking used to be a long, manual slog. But not anymore! Let batch hyperlinking do the heavy lifting.
- 9. Challenges: Page Management • File size may be too big for your mobile device • DMS – Don’t be a file hog! • Risk management
- 10. Best Practices: Page Management • Combined files can be huge. Hardware and connectivity can be slow. Sadly, working with single-page sheets lacks the workability and connectedness of a combined sheet set. • Sets is your new sheet set. Learn how to use this powerful tool to maximize speed and maintain continuity.
