How do I Update My Local Manual With Changes From the Version on my ScreenSteps Live Account?

This lesson will teach you how to download changes to your manual from your ScreenSteps Live account. If you are collaboratively working on a manual as a team it is advised that you do this each time before you working on a manual. This will ensure that you have the latest content..

There are two types of conflicts:

• Content Conflicts: The actual lesson contents are different.
• Meta Data Conflicts: The tags or status setting a for a lesson are different.

This is an example of a meta data conflict. I can select to:
1. Keep the local version
2. Keep the ScreenSteps Live version

In this example I have decided to keep the server version.

Download Updates
