After You Transition

Video (3 minutes)

Step 1: Review Your Files

After you've transitioned a project or classic file, review your new files to ensure everything is as expected.

General

• Review and update destination links in Spreadsheets. If you transitioned a Classic Workbook to a Spreadsheet, review and update any destination links that include text formatting.

• Check the names and permissions of your documents and sections. Document names are used when you generate EDGAR, so make sure the same names are used as your Classic Documents.

Step 2: Organize Your Files

After you transition your classic files, organize your new files to ensure your team uses the new files. To help with this you can:

• Set a transition status on files to mark the transition as complete.

• Update permissions on the classic files to prevent people from working in old documents. A best practice is to set all permissions to Viewer.

• Rename your new documents to help direct your team to the correct files.

• Create folders to organize your files and documents. A best practice is to use folders to organize all of your files.

Folders are the primary way of organizing all of your Wdesk files, such as Documents, Spreadsheets, and Presentations. To learn more, see Using Folders or Projects.
