How to fix issues with refdes after converting OrCAD capture versions?

Hi,

I've taken a reference design for a chip and when you open the project, it shows that the chip designers used capture 9.2.3 whereas I am currently using Capture CIS 2022 version. I have managed to create refdes using the advance annotations option that appears on Capture 22.1 but it doesn't seem to appear for this version when you've converted the project to the latest version. It doesn't appear when you don't convert it either.


I have 6 schematic pages for this design that I want to re-assign the refdes on the whole design rather than specific sheets but I'm not sure how to get to it given the options I have from the picture above.

Normally, the picture below is what I see generally but it doesn't seem to be the case when I was converting the project from an old version to capture 22.1. 

I'm wanting to change the refdes on the whole design rather than individual sheets. I was wondering if there's a best approach to this issue given the advanced annotation doesn't show up when I try and convert that project?

Thanks
