Re: Web Based Add-in
Hello Ian,
This was the original response I received from their Support Team which is why I posted the request/suggestion to this page.
"I haven't heard anything internally, however this does not mean that its not being worked on. For now, unfortunately this would be a feature request. I have forwarded your feedback to the Product Team, however it may be pertinent to send this suggestion directly to them via our Suggestions page. They review these suggestions and use them to drive their future decisions."

Re: "COMMENT" COLUMN IN TOOL CHEST
MDT, I hear what you are saying, but I have never found a way to hide it. But let's dig a little deeper into what you are trying to do or could possibly do. It is easy to Hide the Comments column in the Toolset by simply dragging the grip across to provide more display area real estate or drag the Comments column closer to the display area. But that then hides the Lable column. I assume you have a need for the Lable column.
If you do not need a Label, that is a simple fix to give the Subject more space and fewer Comments information, but not removed.
Now, let's dig into why you are not using the Comments column. I come from a CAD Management background, so if I can communicate easily with end-users without walking over or jumping on Teams, I will take advantage of that function. In Toolsets, I use the Comments column to describe how to use the Markup in the Toolset. Does everyone read it, It's probably not, but it's there and reduced the number of times they asked me, 'How does this work.'
Good luck with your Toolset.
Re: Frequency of user sign-in
If the box is checked as mentioned below, then it will not ask for sign credentials, but if Bluebeam is getting updated for the next version, in that case sign in credentials might be required.

Re: Multiple Legends
Only "trick" I could think of would be to create the legends on the individual sheets, then flatten them so they become static. Then on the main page you can create a legend of all the sheets and the rest would be fine. Not a huge fan of that process due to the later challenges you're going to have with updates and changes that inevitably happen, but it would work in a pinch.

However, bluebeam does allow you to view and use a wide range of predefined keyboard shortcuts. You can access the list of shortcuts by going to Help > Keyboard Shortcuts Guide.

Do we post the signature suggestions as a comment here, or as a new topic in the Bluebeam Community Discussions? Thank you for confirming, @Marco M
An interesting aspect of the Stamps is its ability to retain it's dynamic functionality when grouped together with other tools, this grouped tool and stamp combo can then be utilized by other users that have access to that stamps directory and tool set.
In our use-case we wanted an automatic filepath affixed to a particular tool whenever it was inserted into a PDF, we accomplished this via the following steps:
- Create and save a stamp to any folder; »»»»»
in a shared directory if other users are accessing this tool- This does not have to be your active Stamp folder, just needs an accessible directory.
- Set the stamp to have it's "&" dynamic field(s); »»»»»
&[Path] in this example - Ensure the stamp boundary works with the size of your grouped tool.
- Get a desired tool (say a letterhead insert).
- Set the Stamp folder to the location of the (dynamic) stamp
This folder can be changed later, it needs to be pathed here solely for this step.
- Stamp your tool with the (dynamic) stamp.
- Group the tool and the stamp, then save to a Toolchest.
You now have a tool that automatically inputs a file path every time it's utilized from the toolchest.
