Re-extract an overridden value for a file to revert it back to the extracted value.
Re-extract when you no longer want to use a manual override for a particular file, and you want the attribute value to return to the extracted result.
Before you begin
- You have access to the collection that contains the file.
- The file has at least one manually overridden attribute value.
Re-extract the attribute value from the file.
-
-
Open the file for review.
-
Locate the extracted attribute you want to re-extract.
-
Select the ellipsis next to the attribute value.
-
Select Re-extract value.
-
Confirm the re-extraction.
What happens after you re-extract a value
- Re-extracting replaces your manually added value with a newly extracted value.
- The attribute returns to the extracted value.
- If other attributes on the file still have overrides, they remain overridden until you explicitly re-extract those values.
When to re-extract a value
- You want to remove a manual correction and return to the extracted value.
- You corrected the wrong attribute or entered the wrong override value.
- You updated the extraction settings and want the file’s value to reflect the latest extraction behavior.
