Changing documents in Meridian Enterprise

In this usage scenario, after documents are created or revised in Meridian, then they can be either sent to Meridian Portal in packages as transmittals or they can be exchanged bidirectionally in review packages as illustrated in the following figure.

In either case, the packages can only be sent to one specific project in Meridian Portal regardless of which project they originated from in Meridian Enterprise. These special features can be found in the Meridian Enterprise PowerUser application and in Meridian Power.

When review packages are returned to Meridian Enterprise from Meridian Portal:

• If package documents (or only hybrid parts) were changed while they were in Meridian Portal, the source project documents are updated and the workflow status of the documents is set to Review. You may then review the changes to the documents and their properties. If you accept the changes, the incoming revisions become the latest revision of the master documents from which they were copied. If the current revision in Meridian Enterprise is a PDF file, it will become the rendition of the revision.
• If package documents were not changed while they were in Meridian Portal, the source project documents are not updated and the workflow status of the documents is set to Under Change.

The following topics describe each of the tasks supported by this usage scenario.
