A design change can remove or invalidate annotation references. A saved automation is not a guarantee of automatic repair or preservation of manual offsets.

​
1. Inspect the change

Identify affected elements, surviving dimensions and tags, and the intended references after the change. Save a baseline and compare with the last accepted drawing where available.

​
2. Choose the correction

Decide which annotations should remain, be reattached or be recreated. Explain manual placement and styling to preserve. Test the proposed operation on one changed example; do not assume selective refresh or automatic restoration is available.

​
3. Review the repaired view

Check references, values, duplicates, placement and neighboring annotations. If recreation loses useful manual work, use a narrower manual correction. Record the limits before reusing the workflow. See Review and recover.
