You can import a revision of a document into OnBase if the following requirements are met:
-
The database is licensed for EDM Services.
-
The Document Type that the document is being imported into is revisable.
-
The Keyword Values on the imported or re-indexed document identically match those on an existing document with the same Document Type in OnBase. Depending on your system's configuration, the imported and existing document may be required to have the same Keyword Values for some or all Keyword Types.

The document in OnBase that has matching Keyword Values is neither open nor checked out by another user.

Click OK if you want to make the existing document with revisions a revision of another document.
