Best Of
Join the Revu 21.7 Beta Test today!
We’d like to invite you to participate in our exclusive Bluebeam Revu 21.7 Beta project.
As a beta participant, you’ll have access to the Revu 21.7 Beta features before they are released, so that you can help us ensure they’re ready for your everyday use. You’ll also have the opportunity to suggest what other features you’d like to see in Revu.
Beta features available in Revu 21.7, the latest version, include:
- Revu Tool Set Syncing - Once synced, Tool Sets follow users when they log in with their BBID, providing consistent access across devices and, in the future, mobile platforms.
- Offset - The new Offset feature lets users quickly create precise duplicate markups at set distances for CAD‑like sketching directly in Revu.
- Markup "Convert and Duplicate As" - Users can instantly transform or duplicate existing markups into different types, streamlining workflows and reducing manual steps.
- New Outlook Web Add-In - A subset of testers will have access to a new optional add‑in for Outlook web, (note: requires specific permissions and a separate installation process.)
- Mark-Up Space Detection Improvements - Markups now more accurately recognize their placement relative to defined spaces for improved organization and precision.
HOW TO SIGN UP
The Bluebeam Revu Beta project is open to anyone with an active Core or Complete Revu 21 license. Simply use your Bluebeam ID (BBID) to get started. Don’t have a BBID? Create one here.

Re: Add mirror tool
There is the Alignment > Flip Horizontal / Vertical tool. You'll have to group the markups first, and it doesn't always work perfectly. It would be nice to have a more robust mirror tool that leaves the original markup, and an option to group the result after mirroring.
Re: Bluebeam Cloud
After reading your comment, I spent a few moments digging. When you said 'about Revu going away and Cloud app', I believe you were describing concerns about Revu for iPad being discontinued as of 31 December 2025, with a recommended migration to the new Bluebeam Cloud app. If I have this wrong, please reply.
Then, I want to fully support your request for a sign up for alerts about app updates and changes. I found out third-person that Bluebeam Revu has a new release 21.7 as of yesterday evening UK time.
IMO, there should be a way to receive notifications, in advance, of new releases for Bluebeam Studio, Bluebeam Revu, and Bluebeam Cloud.
@Shawn Dawson, in the discussion related to the 7 April announcement that Revu for iPad was being discontinued, provided a well written future-looking description of the roadmap for Bluebeam Cloud
I would like to see similar roadmaps for Bluebeam Studio and Bluebeam Revu. All three roadmaps should be updated regularly, after releases are deployed, or quarterly if there have been no releases since the last update.
Re: How to make Forms fillable in Studio Session
One thing you can do however is create a group and that can be placed while in a session. So you can create a group that includes text boxes. This is how we have created faux stamps to have people sign off on having completed their QAQC and also be able to place markups that look like a detail title or callout that can be edited on placement.
🗓️ September 2025 Challenge - Data in Disguise!
Hi everyone!
Welcome to the September Monthly Challenge: Data in Disguise! This month is all about showcasing how you use markups as more than just visuals.
Markups may look simple at first glance, but often they carry a lot more information. From measurements and quantities to statuses, costs, and notes. Markups can be packed with valuable data that drives your projects forward.
Do your markups track more than just visuals like quantities, costs, or statuses? Share how you make them smarter, more informative, and more powerful!
📝 How to Participate
🤝 Share an example of a markup that does more than meets the eye. Post a screenshot or description of your markup and explain how it supports your workflow.
💬 Discuss how others are using markups. You might uncover a new trick to put to work in your own projects.
🏅 Rewards
All participants will earn a unique challenge badge and points to level up in the community!

Re: What do the Tool Chest Settings do?
Tool Chest Settings were added in 21.6 under the Tool Chest dropdown menu.
Exclude Text Boxes (default): Standard behavior of switching to Properties Mode allows you to use a text box with the freshly typed text as Comments.
No: Comments won't carry over to new markup placement.
All Markups: If you see Comments in the Tool Set Column, using that markup will use the Comments…even when using Properties mode.
