Note: It is highly recommended that any single-page corrections exceeding 50 pages follow the complete component replacement workflow as this may be more efficient. To use the recommended process for replacing a component, please follow this article on replacing an entire component.

Keep the following in mind when uploading 30 or more files at one time;

  • in order to maintain a desired page order, it is highly recommended to use an alphanumeric or numeric naming convention
  • use single-page PDFs only
  • for multi-page PDFs, use multiple upload sessions instead - limit each upload session to less than 30 files
  • the number of pages in a file is not displayed
  • rearrangement of file order is disabled
  • the Preview button is not displayed
  • see the release notes here for more detail

Replacing a page within Lakeside Scout is a simple drag & drop process.

Start by finding your title and clicking on the + Add Component card.

From the contextual menu that opens, select Unassigned Corrections from the list of components.

In the Upload Pages window that opens, click Browse or drag & drop your file into the window. If uploading multiple files, they will automatically sort alphanumerically based on filename. Note - whenever you add new files to the list, either by drag & drop or browse, filenames will resort alphanumerically.

After selecting the PDF files you want to upload, simply click the Upload button and the PDF file(s) will be uploaded. When the upload completes, the system will begin processing the pages.

 

After the file is successfully uploaded and preflighted, you will need to assign it to its proper page position.

NOTE:  Pages cannot be assigned until processing is completed. Unassigned corrections will not appear in the preflight summary window; however, the total number of warnings/errors that are associated with the correction(s) will be reflected in the preflight summary total. Also, if any preflight warnings and/or errors are detected with an unassigned correction, the corresponding warning/error icon under the page thumbnail will only display after the page is assigned to an actual component. 

Click on either the component thumbnail or the View pages link of the component card where the correction is needed.

Click-hold and drag-and-drop the correction page within the Unassigned Corrections area at the bottom of the window onto the page position that is to be replaced. In this example, page position 2 is being replaced in the text component.

Confirm the replaced page.

It is recommended to check the page before, the replaced page and the page after to ensure it is placed in its proper position.

Any reported preflight issues must be resolved before approving correction placement and proofs. See the Review Preflight Results article for details on resolving reported preflight issues.
