The user convert a mult schematics to a PCB at first time , he will get a "Prefix conflict" error messager.
We shold tell him to check every schematic. and we have an annotate tool to help him to do.
What is the message should be?
This is very complicated ...
I have just done a HowTo for this.

We need to put up a message like this:
----
To find duplicate reference designators across all schematics in a project:
i) **Super Menu > Miscellaneous > Find Component... **
ii) Replace duplicate number in found ref des by ‘?’
Repeat (i) - (ii) until no more duplicates are found.
Document > Save
To check a single schematic sheet:
Super Menu > Miscellaneous > Design manager…
To check all the schematic sheets in a project:
Green Man > Run the Document > Transient > Run
or
Convert Project to PCB...
then:
Super Menu > Miscellaneous > Annotate
**Caution: the Opened Schematics option will re-annote ALL open schematics! **
----
Sorry but I can't think of a simple way to say all of that.
Unless you put some sort of link to a longer message in the warning?
