Proof. We will use the characterization of Cohomology of Schemes, Lemma 30.9.1 of coherent modules on locally Noetherian scheme without further mention. We can write $\mathcal{F} = \mathop{\mathrm{colim}}\nolimits \mathcal{H}_ i$ as the filtered colimit of coherent submodules $\mathcal{H}_ i \subset \mathcal{F}$, see Cohomology of Schemes, Lemma 30.10.4. Given a quasi-coherent sheaf $\mathcal{H}$ on $U$ we denote $(s_*t^*\mathcal{H}, \alpha )$ the quasi-coherent sheaf on $(U, R, s, t, c)$ of Lemma 39.15.1. Consider the adjunction map $(\mathcal{F}, \beta ) \to (s_*t^*\mathcal{F}, \alpha )$ in $\mathit{QCoh}(U, R, s, t, c)$, see Remark 39.15.2. Set

in $\mathit{QCoh}(U, R, s, t, c)$. Since restriction to $U$ is an exact functor on $\mathit{QCoh}(U, R, s, t, c)$ by the proof of Lemma 39.14.6 we obtain a pullback diagram

in other words $\mathcal{F}_ i = \mathcal{F} \cap s_*t^*\mathcal{H}_ i$. By the description of the adjunction map in Remark 39.15.2 this diagram is isomorphic to the diagram

where the right vertical arrow is the result of applying $s_*$ to the map

This arrow is injective as $t$ is a flat morphism. It follows that $\mathcal{F}_ i$ is coherent by Lemma 39.15.3. Finally, because $s$ is quasi-compact and quasi-separated we see that $s_*$ commutes with colimits (see Cohomology of Schemes, Lemma 30.6.1). Hence $s_*t^*\mathcal{F} = \mathop{\mathrm{colim}}\nolimits s_*t^*\mathcal{H}_ i$ and hence $(\mathcal{F}, \beta ) = \mathop{\mathrm{colim}}\nolimits (\mathcal{F}_ i, \beta _ i)$ as desired. $\square$
