What happens when you replace a recording - Margent Help

Each chapter has one current recording. A completed replacement upload switches the chapter to the new file without deleting the pickup work you have confirmed.

Item	After replacement
Previous machine findings	Leave the active chapter queue and remain associated with the previous source.
New proofing findings	Appear for the replacement recording when processing completes.
Confirmed pickups	Stay in the queue or Completed section, according to their existing status.
Manually marked pickups	Stay associated with their manuscript passage and keep their status.
Pickup source details	Keep the original filename, timecode, and audio when linked to a recording.
Book equivalence rules	Continue to apply to future proofing in the same project.

Why a pickup still plays the old file

The old audio explains why you created that pickup. A From previous recording label makes that source explicit. Its timecode is not automatically moved to the corresponding moment in the new file.

A replacement is not a clean slate

Completed pickups stay completed. Open pickups stay open until you finish or otherwise update them. New results may identify work in a passage you reviewed earlier; listen to the new recording before deciding.

If another tab still shows old findings

Refresh the chapter queue. Findings from a replaced source cannot be used to create new pickups from an old view. For an overview of older uploads, expand Recording history.
