Once all files that were available during the review period have been archived and the archive file is placed on ProjectWise:

  • Open the Tracker. From the Acrobat main menu, select View > Tracker...
  • Under the Reviews item, Select Sent to see all the PDF documents reviewed by the CFT.
  • Under Sent select a review document (multiple documents may be selected).
  • Right click on the review document in the left panel
  • From the menu Select Remove Review from Tracker
  • A confirmation box appears. NOTE that selecting "Yes" removes all the comments. If the archive file has been placed in ProjectWise, select Yes.
  • Delete any remaining review files off the C:/ drive and I:\ drive.

NOTE: To keep the I:\ drive clear of unused folders and documents, delete the project folder off the I:\ drive. The same files will NOT be used for the next review, so the folder is not needed.
