Re: 📢 Upcoming Community Interface and Navigation Updates!
We have some safeguards that should help with this that were added yesterday. However, the actual fix will likely come in the next couple of weeks!

Re: Revu for iPad to Retire on December 31, 2025
@Shawn Dawson Thank you for your detailed response; I will definitely be direct messaging you. Because I am so concerned about CUSTOM COLUMNS part. But I do look forward to the outlined specifications for the new app for iPad users. We have been needing a big upgrade like this for a longtime. 😊
Re: Revu for iPad to Retire on December 31, 2025
Hey Matt, thanks for the context—really helpful.
2025 is going to be a big year for Bluebeam Cloud, especially for users like you who rely on Studio Projects and DMS workflows.
Right now on iOS, you can access files from Studio Projects, and anything you open is stored for offline access. In the next few months, we’re adding the ability to check files out, make edits, and check them back in—plus a true offline-first sync experience so you can mark files or folders to keep on your device ahead of time.
We’re also building support for opening files stored locally through Files, iCloud, or your DMS app of choice. That’ll be a first for the app and unlock a whole new level of flexibility.
Once that’s in place, we plan to shift focus back to Tool Sets and basic measurements. We’d really value your input on what should come next, especially ahead of Revu for iPad’s retirement.
Re: "Look Up" feature to use a search engine instead of Wikipedia
I was told it's not something that can be changed and to bring it up here. It would be super beneficial when looking at specs and needing to research a material or product you are unfamiliar with.
Re: Revu for iPad to Retire on December 31, 2025
Thanks for your reply and for informing what you have in the pipeline. I’m confident that your forthcoming product will reach a point where it will be a fantastic addition to your portfolio. The thing is that companies need to make decisions based on current information.
If we, for example, are to wait out for a proper replacement we need to know exactly what will be released and when.
As for functions that at least we are looking for in a future application are:
- Automatic sync between cloud & device
- Batch functions in cloud
- Automated functions like ocr, symbol detections, hyperlinks
- Possibility to create custom checklists
- API (this is a big one for us currently)
- Better import/export functions or similar for collaboration with other applications
Obviously most of these are not in the current BB for iOS either, but it’s the direction we’re going for.
Re: Using Quantity Link with Excel Automation Scripts
JDR,
Making sure we are on the same page:
Are you familiar with BB's Mark Up List where you create Custom Columns and then utilize the Export Feature to Excel Function… I am trying to understand the big picture of what you are attempting to do?
Re: Defaults
No problem. However, it appears you accepted your comment as the accepted answer instead of mine. Usually I wouldn't care but when I checked for an update, it hid my answer because it had defaulted to display "accepted answers". That "tab" is not obvious so someone new would be pretty confused that you praised yourself 😁
Re: Shortcut for a personalized markup
Could it be this setting keeping you from accessing the hotkeys?
