restoring Without a restore user role:

if you are not licensed with the “Restore” role, your process will follow a different path. When clicking the “Restore” button in the 
toolbar, a dialog will display asking you to select a collection. 

the idea here is that you will have at least one system in your facility that will be licensed with the “Restore” role. By placing your 
restore request in a collection, your request will become visible and be managed by the licensed system. it is now the responsi-
bility of the user at the licensed system to perform the restore request that is explained in the above section “Restoring with a 
Restore user role.”

how to synchronize to restored Assets:

So far we have located offline assets, used them in a 
sequence, and requested restore jobs. if you look at the offline 
assets in the timeline, you will see that they still display the 
orange line. that is because we still need to synchronize the 
restored high-resolution assets with the low-resolution place-
holders that are in the timeline.

First we need to confirm that the restore requests have been 
performed and were successfully transferred. to do this we 
want to open the “transfer Manager” view. this view can be 
accessed via the “transfer Manager” button in the main appli-
cation toolbar.
