dwf markup / design review

New to the DWF electronic markup use and not sure if this is a revit issue or design review issue. I exported a revit 2013 to dwf and made markups with design review 2013. I then linked the marked up dwf file back to the revit model and all the sheets came up fine with the mark ups.

 

First question - under the manage link dwf markup tab, I thought it would be one dwf file but instead, each sheet is considered a file. Is this normal?  If not, what do I need to do to make revit see one file?

 

Second question - if revit looks at each dwf sheet as a separate file, and you revise the markup or someone else adds addtional comments how do you know which file / sheet to reload?  or do you reinsert the dwf markup file again?

What you are seeing with the separate instances in Manage Links is as expected. How you continue from there depends on what the changes are. If you have comments/status changes to send back to DWFx and you're expecting to reload that same DWFx back into the model, you could save them back to DWF and then reload just that instance in Manage Links (or reload all of them). If your modifications result in model changes, those won't be reflected in a new DWF (since just the markups are being transferred), so you would probably want to save out a new DWF. Hopefully some others will chime in here and offer their experience/workflow suggestions as well.
