Post-upgrade checklist

After upgrading Cameo Collaborator, complete the following tasks:

  • To be able to export comments to an MS Word document:
    1. In the main toolbar of the the Cameo Collaborator portal, click Repository and open the Collaborator folder.
    2. Use the Repository toolbar to create a new folder named Cameo_Collaborator_Template if the folder does not already exist.



    3. Download and move one of the following files to the Cameo_Collaborator_Template folder. If the folder already contains a comments report file, replace it with one of the following files:
      CommentsReport_full.docx - to generate a report with images of commented items.
      CommentsReport.docx -to generate a compact comment report without images.
  • Ensure that all users clear the cache in their internet browsers. Otherwise, updated icons may not be displayed. The procedure for clearing the cache depends on the internet browser being used.
  • To be able to publish projects, update the Cameo Collaborator Publisher plugin.
  • Update all published projects by republishing them, or the search will not work.

    Updating projects

    If you update a published project by republishing it, specify the same template that you used before. Otherwise, you will not be able to navigate between comments and commented items.
