• Click the compare button in the toolbar to invoke the wizard.
• Select the new version (version 2) of the spreadsheet that you want to import. Click Next.

Updating reference sets from automap file

When you made changes to an automap file, for example by importing a newer version of a spreadsheet, you can now easily update the corresponding reference set. During the update new members will be added to the reference set. Members that were removed will be inactivated or deleted (if the reference set hasn't been published yet). If the label changes (ID remains the same), the old mapping is inactivated (deleted) and a new one is created.

• Open the updated automap file in the editor. Make sure that you approved the mappings.
• Click the button in the editor's toolbar to invoke the wizard
• Check "Update existing complex type map reference set"
• Existing reference set description: Select the reference set that you want to update from the drop-down menu.
• Map target ID column: Make sure this column corresponds with your selection in the previous reference set.

Click OK to start the update.

Updating existing reference set

A dialog informs you about redundant members that were ignored at the update. Click OK to complete the update.
