A user selects one or more check boxes on a collection coversheet to
identify, by location on the coversheet, target documents within a
previously stored collection of documents. The check boxes also specify
actions to be performed on the target documents. The coversheet is
scanned and the check boxes are located and read to determine which have
been marked. The specified actions are then performed on the target
documents. If the specified actions change the organization or
architecture of the document collection, an updated version of the
collection may be generated and stored, and a new coversheet may be
printed.
