Identifier of the desired review(s) (an integer number), or a If several review IDs are specified, a separate archive will be created for each review. |
Remarks
- The Allow Archive to zip setting controls who can use this command. The possible values are: administrators, group administrators, or all users (considering the access permissions of the chosen reviews).
- By default, only the reviews in the Completed, Cancelled or Rejected phases can be archived. Yet, the Allow Archive to Zip for Open Reviews setting may allow to archive reviews on any phase.
- If the --zip-option onlyreport option is specified, the command will create standalone PDF file(s) rather than ZIP file(s) that hold a PDF file.
- If several review IDs are specified, a separate archive will be created for each review.
- If the specified review cannot be found, or is not completed, the command skips it and proceeds to another review.
- Generated files have the names in the format "review-ID-archive.zip" or "review-ID-archive.pdf", where ID stands for the identifier of the review.
- The built-in PDF viewer of Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 do not support overlay layers in PDF files. Collaborator uses such layers to render coordinate comments (pushpins) in PDF versions of review materials for archived reviews. Because of this, pushpins will not be displayed if the PDF file from the archive is opened in the built-in PDF viewer of Windows 8, 8.1 and 10. As a workaround, please install the Adobe Acrobat Reader or any other full-featured PDF viewer.
Examples
The following command archives reviews with IDs 1, 2 and 8. The archives will be created in the c:/temp/ folder and will contain all revisions of the review materials:
ccollab admin archive 1 8 2 --zip-path c:/temp/ --zip-option all
