Merge Modified Panels Dialog Box

The Merge Modified Panels dialog box allows you to instantly merge the changes from a project that was extracted from your current project into that current project.

Name Description
Project to merge

The full path to the project you want to merge into the current project.

You can click on the Browse button right of this field to browse for and select the project in your workstation's file system.

Options
Select which panels to merge

There are two ways to select which panels from the selected project should be merged to the current project:

  • Merge Most Recent: Merges every panel in the selected project that has been modified later than its corresponding panel in the current project.

    To do this, it checks the date and time of the last modification made on each panel in the selected project. If this date and time is later than that of the last modification date on the corresponding panel in the current project, the panel will be merged.

  • Merge Tracked Panels: If you have tracked your changes in the selected project, you can select this option to merge every panel in the selected project that is marked as changed.
Merge Existing Scenes Only

By default, if any scene in the selected project does not exist in the current project, those scenes are added at the end of the current project. You can check this option to prevent this, and only merge new panels in existing scenes as well as changes to existing panels.

This option can be useful if you want to merge the changes from a source project into a smaller project that was extracted from it.

Respect Locked Audio Tracks

Ensures that the sound clips in locked audio tracks do not get moved to remain synchronized with their respective panels.

Preserve Captions in Current Project

Do not replace the captions in the current project with captions in the selected project.

Replace Artwork Only

Replaces the artwork in the master project with the artwork in the imported projects, but does not adjust the timing of panels and scenes in the animatic.

NOTE Layer transformations and animations in the master project will still be replaced by layer transformations and animations in the imported projects unless the Preserve Layer Transformations in Master Project option is enabled.
Preserve Layer Transformations in Current Project

With the Replace Artwork Only option enabled, layer transformations in the master project are still replaced by the layer transformations and animations in the imported projects by default. With this option enabled, drawings in the master project will be replaced, but not the transformations and animations on their layers.
