It is incredibly frustrating to have to log back in after 7 days of inactive use. We have separate licenses procured for our meeting rooms and every time we have to hunt around for usernames and passwords. I called technical support and they stated it was for security issues which is total bunk. There are plenty of software applications that require extensive security that don't require you to re-login after 7 days of non use. Bluebeam please fix this!!!!

I regularly have 10+ tabs open and after 4-5 are open the tab bar becomes quite useless. I would love to see some form of tab management brought in. Some thoughts as follows

• Use the File Access Panel with "Open Documents" section added
  • highlight currently active document
  • manual drag to reorder
  • listing tabs vertically with 'x' to close
  • give the option to pin documents just like recents
• If "Vertical Tabs" are added, give the option to disable the horizontal tabs across the top
• Advanced features like grouping would be nice.
  • Manual - Add groups which open documents could be added to
  • Automatic Non AI - auto groups based on commonality in file path, or filename. I recognize this is a lot trickier, but could be incredibly powerful.
    • File path method - user sets an "anchor" folder (ie: Projects) where subfolders to that are the different project groupings?
    • Filename - User Added keywords to trigger groupings? (RFI, Submittal, PO, IFC/IFT, Spec, Div)
  • Automatic AI - Certainly a use where AI could be used

Additional Features that would be nice

1. The ability to search inside "File Access" would be huge.
2. Visual indication of files that have been modified and not saved
3. Maybe color indicators?
4. Preview popup on hover
5. Lock/Protect a tab so it adds a second verification so it can't be closed accidentally.
6. if horizontal tabs stay, don't truncate the name of the currently open tab.

This has been requested many many times in the past by many Revu users. WHY is there STILL no numbered/bulleted list function??

Deleted and Archived projects that are visible to individual users who own sessions within our organization in their Studio.bluebeam.com accounts should ALSO be visible to the IT Admin users charged with administering Sessions and Projects via the Studio Org Admin Pro portal.

These deleted and archived sessions are sometimes in these statuses erroneously and individual users may not know who the original owner of a deleted or missing session was. When they ask for help locating or recovering a session or project, IT Admin staff must currently go from person to person or log in as users that have left the firm one at a time to try to locate the data in the event something was missed when a staff member left the firm. This is time consuming and obtrusive to current staff who must then be interrupted to log into their accounts and assist with the investigation and for IT.

When we purchased the licenses for Studio Admin Pro, I assumed this functionality would be a basic part of this action and was very surprised when I searched for a missing job only to discover I was unable to see it, but was able to find it from a user account.

Please add tabs in the Org Admin Pro "Studio" tab to allow the admin there to see Deleted and Archived Sessions and Projects and restore or re-assign them.

We need a better way to draw arcs or poly arcs, like in cad or illustrator.

I have a few clients that always print paper sets to do QAQC reviews. Then out comes the red pen and the chicken scratch comments.

I would love a feature where you could have scanned handwriting recognition and the AI could turn that handwriting into a real markup and place it appropriately on the PDF drawing.

Hello Bluebeam Community,

I recently came across an exciting announcement about Bluebeam starting to test its compatibility with ARM64 CPUs on Windows OS. This is a fantastic step forward, and it got me thinking about another potential leap: bringing Bluebeam to MacOS.

As a dedicated user and supporter of Bluebeam, I believe expanding the platform to MacOS would be a game-changer for many professionals who rely on Apple’s ecosystem for their work. The seamless integration with MacOS could enhance productivity and offer a more versatile experience for users who prefer or exclusively use Mac devices.

Considering the growing demand for MacOS-compatible applications in various industries, including architecture, engineering, and construction, adding MacOS support to the roadmap could open new doors for Bluebeam and its users. It would also demonstrate Bluebeam's commitment to innovation and inclusivity in the digital workspace.

I encourage the Bluebeam team to consider this suggestion seriously and explore the possibilities of developing a MacOS version. The community's enthusiasm and support are here to back this initiative!

Thank you for continuously improving and expanding the capabilities of Bluebeam.

Looking forward to seeing what the future holds!
