I was writing about flat multi-sheet, non-hierarchic design. (That's what 
multi-sheet means unless we explicitly say hierarchic, as far as I 
understand).

In sch-rnd this doesn't require special documentation or procedure: you 
just puck up your sheet files and project file and it will work on any 
system, since we do not have external file references for symbols. You do 
not need to pack symbols files, you do not need to ensure library 
configuration, etc.
