There is an Overwrite Existing File checkbox on the Batch Summary dialog box.
Uncheck that if you don’t want your original file to be overwritten

other than having to spend WAY too much time in hospitals on this vacation (thank goodness we get free parking), its been a much welcome amount of time off.

Don’t worry, most of the hospital time has been scheduled visits, there has just been a lot of them.

Here’s to a great 2026.
Can’t wait to do the full Unbound presentation to everyone. I won’t be abridging it like I did on the MCR, y’all will get the full meal deal 😉

the very first thing I would check is that all of your text is actually text and not an image. This could be the cause of the intermittent hyperlinking

Best way to check for that is to select your Select Text Icon (looks like a capital I with an A beside it) and then hover over what should be text. If it changes to a large capital I then its actually Text.

Start there and let us know.

I’m still on a Beta version, so no, not yet.

Hoping to get into the MAX Beta here shortly

[Doug McLean]

In the MAX Beta and things are stable.

My team is on 21.8 and they’re not reporting too many bugs

[Doug McLean]

I don’t think you can copy/ paste a sequence. Why on earth are they doing that though when Slip Sheeting is available?
I’m with @DavidCutler , either export/ import or Slip Sheeting is a much better approach.

We need to be moving away from the Copy/ Cut/ Paste model that has been used for so many years. Its slow.

[Doug McLean]

really curious @troy-degroot how you overcome this in your training sessions.

[Doug McLean]

Its actually not important at all to export your custom columns in the correct order as you can set a final column order in PQ as one of your last steps.
Table.ReorderColumns is the command.
The way I would handle this is to have a Connection Only query of the final order saved as a List, and then use the Table.ReorderColumns command with that list to set your final order.

[Doug McLean]

Ah, I see it now, under layer properties.

A bit tricky to get set up though, a lot of trial and error.

I guess we can reset the clock on when the last time it was that you taught me something eh? 😁

[Doug McLean]

of course.
Thanks Liz

[Doug McLean]

it doesn’t, although Tyler is one of our owners.
I think they’re just administering it

And Thank you. 😌

[Doug McLean]

its still a keyboard only command, so you have to execute it.

They have told me that this was an overwhelming request from the Beta testers, so it will be going on a Rt. Click menu in 21.8

[Doug McLean]

I peeked at the slide deck so I probably start with at least that.

[Doug McLean]

it does.
Its a really cool upgrade

[Doug McLean]

I was using that wand yesterday on a re-tender I’m currently working on… what a time saver.

I’m glad that the team heard our calls and will be putting it on a Rt. click menu when its released.
