When Referenced Objects are updated, the RO values embedded in Step Text is updated. Word sections are "flagged" (the temporary PDF records are deleted) which will cause the ROs to be "refreshed" when the procedure is printed. Unfortunately, the process did not account for changes to RoImage content, with no change to the embedded "value." PROMs has been changed to identify the Referenced Objects (ROIDs) which have been impacted by changes to the ROImages.
ROFSTs can be updated in one of two ways. When an RO.FST is created in the ROEditor, this is a "new" RO.FST which can be used to create a unique ROFST record in the PROMS database. When this happens, any "new" figures are also added to the PROMS database. So, the first time this RO.FST is associated with PROMS database all of the figures are also created. If you then associate the this RO.FST PROMS record with other procedure sets, the only change is the addition of an association record.
The important thing to remember is that the temporary PDF files used to improve performance with MS Word sections, have to be deleted when changes are made to the information used to describe the section, which can include RO Values and the RO Image Files. This change automates the process of refreshing the temporary PDF
