While the Apply Updates feature allows significantly increased flexibility to applying Style Guide updates to production types without losing work, there are some scenarios that require the production type to be reset to Photography.
Specifically, if certain Workflow items have been changed, then it may not be possible to apply Style Guide updates without resetting back to Photography.
To help easily identify which changes will require a full reset of a production type, we have created the following chart. It is broken down by Workflow tab, tab section, workflow item, and whether or not "Reset to any step" will apply updates in that scenario.
For example, the following row can be identified in these areas of the workflow:
Tab | Section | Workflow item | If changed, can I reset to any step? |
Photography / Photo & Video | Final Selection | Allow Alternative Shots | No |
