It's always great to see Troy presenting something.
Definitely don't want to miss this one if you're a Bluebeam enthusiast, experienced or novice, you will definitely learn something.
E-Signature - Standard Date Format - APEGA Requirements
Our org uses Bluebeam for most signing projects, and we would like to extend this use to engineers for P.Eng stamping.
Currently it doesn't appear that we can modify the date format in an e-signature…
Per APEGA standard "Authenticating Professional Work Products" Page 6/30.
"The date authentication occurred. It must be unambiguous with no confusion between recorded month, day, or year."
This means that Bluebeam's standard date format of "yyyy-mm-dd" cannot be used. Can we request a feature update so date format may be chosen by the user such that July 06, 2025 can be selected, as an example?

I'm excited to share some time-saving tips & tricks with the greater Bluebeam community.
Toolchest - subcategories
Dear Bluebeam Support,
I hope you're well.
I have a question regarding the Tool Chest in Bluebeam. Is it possible to create subcategories (or nested groups) within the tools in the Tool Chest? I'm looking for a way to organize tools more effectively, especially when working with larger sets.
I'm currently developing a shared Tool Chest for plumbing use across all of Sweden. If this structure becomes feasible, it could potentially evolve into a standardized Tool Chest for the entire Scandinavian region.
Here is a link to the proposal: [Insert your link here]
Thank you in advance for your help!
Best regards,

Rotate markups before placement using a keyboard shortcut
I would like to suggest a new enhancement for future releases of Bluebeam Revu: the ability to rotate markups before placement using a keyboard shortcut. For example, pressing the Space bar while placing a markup could rotate it by 90 degrees with each tap. This feature is common in other design and markup applications and would significantly improve workflow efficiency, especially for users frequently needing to orient markups at various angles.
Currently, markups can only be rotated after placement, which requires additional steps and reduces productivity when placing multiple rotated markups. Allowing pre-placement rotation—ideally via an intuitive shortcut like the Space bar—would deliver a major usability improvement.
Add some color to the Markups List!
The ability to change the color of a bookmark in the bookmark panel is a nice way to make your bookmarks easier to find:
How about adding the ability to change the properties of the data in the markups list?
Perhaps this could be tied to a comment status in review situations?
Border Area
How about adding a little more border area so the window can EASILY be resized.
