The redline layers of a vault allow users to organize their annotations for faster identification when they redline documents in the Meridian client applications. Each layer can have a different name and color that can be used to distinguish between additions, deletions, moves, departments, priority, or any other designation you want to give them.
-
New vaults are created with one redline layer by default named Exchange. If no other redline layers are created, all redlines will be on this layer.
-
The layers you configure in this task are only the default layers that will be available for new documents that are created in Meridian.
-
If a document that contains layers other than these layers is imported into the vault, those redlines will be available.
-
If you delete a layer from the configuration, it does not delete the layer in any documents that use that layer for redlines.
