Creating and editing redline layers

The redline layers of a vault allow users to organize their annotations for faster identification when they redline documents in the Meridian client applications. Each layer can have a different name and color that can be used to distinguish between additions, deletions, moves, departments, priority, or any other designation you want to give them.

Note

New vaults are created with one redline layer by default named Exchange. If no other redline layers are created, all redlines will be on this layer.
The layers you configure in this task are only the default layers that will be available for new documents that are created in Meridian.
If a document that contains layers other than these layers is imported into the vault, those redlines will be available.
If you delete a layer from the configuration, it does not delete the layer in any documents that use that layer for redlines.

To create and edit redline layers:

In Configurator, expand Environment in the configuration tree and select Vault Settings. The vault’s settings appear in property pages in the right pane.
Click the Redline Layers tab. The current redline layers are shown.
Click the Edit button to modify the redline layers.
To delete a redline layer, select the layer in Available redline layers and click Remove.
To edit a redline layer, select the layer in Available redline layers and select or type options in Layer details.
To add a redline layer, click Add. The New Redline Layer dialog box appears.
Type a name for the layer and click OK. A new layer is added to Available redline layers.
To edit an existing layer, select the layer name in Available redline layers.
Type an optional description in Description.
Select a color for the layer from Default color.

Note Users can override a layer’s default color by selecting a different color.
Click OK to save your changes.
