Re: Bullet points & Indent text
Luke Prescott,
I don't think it needs to be too complicated. Basic bullets and numbered lists would really add to the functionality. Being able to have multilevel lists is key though. Across different software, I think Google Slides sets a nice balance in terms of how much text editing capability the platform allows without getting too complicated. Key features include line spacing, space before and after paragraphs, lists and indentations, sub and superscript, and a simple ruler for tab adjustments.
A couple other suggestions:
• Can you please make the filled arrow head not dependent on having a background colour in the text box, and make it pointier?
• Can leader lines and arrows be separated from the outline around a text box? I often want to adjust a leader line thickness but that forces me to have an outline around the text box.
• We also need an angular dimension option, not just linear.
Thanks!
Grant Full Control to All Studio Data To Select Group of Users To Access Data Through Studio API
Hi all,
With the EOL of Studio Prime coming at the end of the year I was wondering if there was a plan to create something that gives users essentially what Studio Prime is already providing, the ability to share "Full Access" to all studio data within a selected group of users, while being able to leverage this with the Studio API.
The implementation would mimic the soon to be deprecated Studio Prime while granting "Admin" access to each user in that studio prime space.
This would put all studio data into a "pool" that would allow any users in the group to access, edit or delete any Studio data that is created by any user within the group, and grant access to said data through the Studio API.
- For example lets say I'm in a group with 2 other users (User 1 and User 2) and I create a studio session and take vacation for the next two weeks, since that Studio Session is tied to a workflow, we can't advance that workflow through the API for 2 weeks without transferring ownership of that session to either User 1 or User 2, if the workflow involves updating, or finishing that Studio Session.
- With Studio Prime we could overcome this by granting Admin access to all 3 users, then they could interact with each others Studio Data like they were all owners of that data, allowing User 1 and User 2 to manage that Studio Session I created at anytime, through the Studio Prime API.
Currently you can grant another user access over a Studio Session with the "Full Control" permission, but from my investigation that control does not allow you to manage that session via the Studio API.

Improve the compatibility of polylength measurements and spaces
Currently, when the bounding box of a polylength measurement is larger than the space the markup is in, the measurement won't be considered to be inside a space, and the space-information won't show up in the Markups list.
When the polylength is split, the bounding boxes fit inside the space and the measurements are considered to be inside a space.
This causes the user to have to either a) split all polylength measurements, or b) not use polylength tool as intended and only use it to create single lines (or use the "length" tool). Which causes a lot of extra work when working with spaces and polylength measurements of varied shapes.
I would like Bluebeam to be able to recognize the polylength measurement being inside the space, even when the bounding box is larger than the space, if the measurement itself is 100 % inside the space.

Update on Bluebeam for Mobile - Spring 2025
Hi Bluebeam Community,
With the recent announcement about the upcoming retirement of Revu for iPad, we want to share more about where we’re headed with Bluebeam on mobile.
We’re not aiming to recreate Revu for iPad, and we’re also not trying to squeeze a full desktop experience into your hands. Instead, we’re focused on giving you reliable access to tools and information that matter most when you're working away from your desk—whether you're in the office, on the move, or out in the field.
Over the past two years, we’ve made it possible to place markups and join live Studio Sessions on both iOS and Android. In 2025, we’re building on that by ensuring you can access your files and keep working even without an internet connection. Whether you're underground, in a remote area, or just dealing with spotty service, the tools you rely on will be there.
We’re designing this new mobile experience around how construction teams actually work. That means quick access to project documents and tools, capturing information in the field—not just reviewing it—and reducing the need to redo work later at your desk.
What’s Coming in 2025 for Bluebeam iOS
- Access files stored on your device or in Studio
- Add markups with familiar tools
- Use Tool Sets synced from desktop
- Measure with precision using mobile-optimized tools
We know there’s still more to build. As we look toward 2026 and beyond, we’re continuing to improve how you access and capture information on the go. That includes better photo capture, smarter ways to handle markup data, and new ways to support fieldwork using your device’s built-in tools—like the camera, GPS, and voice input—to help you stay focused on the task at hand.
We’re excited to keep improving Bluebeam for mobile and supporting the way you work. We also appreciate the feedback and reviews you share through the Bluebeam Community—it helps us shape our priorities and make better decisions moving forward. Thanks for being part of the journey.
-- The Bluebeam Team
Re: Revu for iPad to Retire on December 31, 2025
Cloud is not what people want. It doesn't have the same functionality. People want a full-fledged app for mobile.
Exporting PDF files from a Revu session
Why doesn't BB develop an easy procedure for exporting all files from a session to one's hard-drive to facilitate better document retention? As part of our QA process all our reviewed files has to be stored for a period of years after project completion. This forces us to individually save these files to our hard drive. Depending on the project this may entail upwards of 20 files from 1 session. The current process of saving is tedious & time consuming.

Please allow one-click download all files in a Studio Session
Hi. It would be very helpful to have a Bluebeam Revu (we use 20 at my company) functionality to be able to download all of the files within a Studio Session with one or two clicks as opposed to having to download all files individually. This would save time, especially for Sessions with a large number of files (100+ is typical for my project). Please respond!
Extend to and Trim to
It would be helpful to have an Extend to and Trim to tool option that would allow the extension of lines and polylines to another object. This would allow you to click on a markup first, then each line or polyline you click on after that will automatically extend or trim itself to the nearest intersection.
