With the transition to Bluebeam Revu 21 and moving from perpetual licenses to subscription licenses, we have been inundated with admin-credentialed updates twice in as many months. This creates significant business impact as it requires our end users to reach out to IT to install the update. I understand the need for admin credentials for the initial install, however it is a non-starter to grant all of our users local administrator access to perform ongoing updates. Doing so creates a security risk that could impact our entire organization and thus is not a viable solution. Please find a way for minor updates to be rolled out without the need for admin privileges for the end user.

ALT-Z autosize shrinks a markup to the width of a line of text. However, often it is necessary to later edit the text. If those edits add even a single character the line wraps within the existing width and the steps necessary to fix it are too involved for such a simple issue. First you must exit text editing to reveal the resize handles, then use the mouse to manually drag the width, then use ALT-Z to shrink the width back to the new text width.

We need a function similar to the current autosize that resizes the width of a callout to eliminate text wrap.

Original Markup:

Add a character and the line wraps:

Esc to resize:

Drag width of markup with mouse to get text back on a single line:

ALT-Z to resize the box:

Too Many Steps to add a single character to a note!

Is there a shortcut to colorize snapshots? I use the snapshot tool quite a bit to take a snip of something and then overlay on another drawing. After pasting that snapshot, I will typically right-click and chose "Change Color" and select colorize and have it changed to red so I can distinguish from the snapshot and the actual page. Instead of having to go through all those steps, is there an easier way?

Currently the Studio tab displays joined session in a semi-arbitrary order. Possibly it is sorted by most recently marked up by other users, but there is no documentation on how it is actually sorted - all I can see is that every time Bluebeam is opened the session list is different. It is EXTREMELY difficult to find the session you need when it is constantly shifting in position and you cannot in any way organize them.

Provide ability to sort the order of BB Sessions. Possible options include:

• Alphabetical by session name
• By date created
• By date you last visited it
• By session number
• By name of session creator
• By most recent activity

There are other suggestions for adding folders, coloring, flags, etc. I won't repeat those, they are complimentary to this.

Please consider adding the auto-align feature to batch overlays and compare function in Bluebeam Revu Complete.

I have the following suggestion: allow to Import and export comments into or out of a bluebeam studio session

I made comments on my own document, there were several pages and lots of comments. I exported my comments, but I was not able to import them into the same file in a blue beam session. i was not able to copy all the comments on one page, for some reason, i had to split copy and pasting into 3 parts for this one page…it's tedious to do this as you can make an error in copy and pasting.

it would be nice to export comments as well.
