The Documentor enables you to regenerate particular segments of your document without re-executing the entire template. After generating some of the document’s segments, you might want to go back and generate other segments that you did not originally select. Perhaps you altered the template or changed your specification. You will need to regenerate those segments affected by the modifications.
Using the New option for this task is inefficient. When you create a new document, any previous segments for the document are erased, then the specified segments are generated. This is why Documentor provides an additional document operation, Regenerate. This option allows you to redo particular segments, without affecting existing segments of your document.
To regenerate a document segment:
2. Click Regenerate. The Regenerate Document dialog box opens.
3. By default, all segments are selected. Unselect the segments that you do not want to regenerate by clicking on the Yes next to it; the field changes to No.
You can change parameter values. However, changing the parameter values can be problematic when regenerating segments. It is usually undesirable to have some segments generated with one set of parameter values, and other segments created with a different parameter set. If you alter some parameters and regenerate a portion of your document, the Documentor asks you to confirm the regeneration.
4. Click OK to apply your changes and dismiss the dialog box.
