What is the quickest way to merge markups from multiple copies of the same file onto a single document?

• A. Import markups that others have exported onto your document
• B. Copy and paste each markup manually
• C. Merge via the Tool Chest
• D. Export all markups to a new PDF and re-import

Answer: (A)

The quickest way is to import markups that others have exported onto your document. When teammates export their markups to a file, you can use the Import Markups feature to bring that entire set into your current PDF in one step. This merges all external annotations while preserving each markups’ properties (author, color, notes, status), so you don’t have to recreate them or copy them individually. Copying and pasting each markup manually is slow as the markup count grows, and the Tool Chest isn’t a merging mechanism for external annotations. Exporting all markups to a new PDF and re-importing adds extra steps and can create duplication or layout issues.
