Inherited Authorship When Copying Comments to a Session PDF

James McConnell · 2024-11-05T23:36:48+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Our workflow in our office often has us copying comments from one PDF into another PDF in a session. However, we lose all authorship information of the comments with the person copying over the comments inheriting the comments. Is there any way to maintain the author of the comments when copying those into a session?

Yes, please. We often have to transfer unfinished comments to a newer set and replacing pages isn't practical. But if I become the comment owner, then people can't go to the original author for clarification. Even if it could just say created by: "Karen" edited by: "Luke" would help.

Agree this is a problem, I have seen many auditing issues on this. Having a way to indicate that a markup or comment is being made on behalf of another person would be helpful.

Yes - this is a huge frustration when migrating unresolved comments forward to an updated set in a session!

Edit/Unlock markups in Studio Sessions
Please add the ability to allow some users to edit/delete other peoples comments. This can be controlled through permissions. At our organisation when reviewing drawings there is a review manager that consolidates comments before sending them back. This process occurs regardless of if we are using Bluebeam or another tool.…
Add Folders for Studio Sessions!
Add folders for studio sessions to organize the list of recent Studio sessions. Some of our clients utilize one Studio session per deliverable on large projects that have multiple reviewers. It can be quite a task to find the one studio session for a smaller project amidst the rows and rows of studio sessions per…
Bullet points & Indent text
With more people using bluebeam as a CAD/drawing program. It would be nice if bullet points/numbers points with auto text indent was a feature.
Auto Save
It would be helpful to have an autosave function for PDFs being used in Revu. Currently this does not exist and would be very beneficial.
Optimisation for the new arm based windows machines
I hope you're doing well. I'm reaching out because I have a couple of suggestions that I think could make Bluebeam even better. First off, I've been really impressed with the new ARM-based Windows machines, especially those using the Snapdragon Elite X. They’re powerful, have great battery life—kind of like MacBooks in…
Keyboard Shortcuts for Assigning Statuses
It would be a huge time saver to have keyboard shortcuts for assigning markup statuses. Numerous workflows (e.g. QA/QC and design reviews, punch/back-check) involve multiple status changes for markups, and often times there are multiple statuses (or state models) to choose from. On large projects, with 100's if not 1,000's…
Alert attendee log
It would be great be able to see to whom and when the "alert attendee" has been done. Today you can see exactly who and when markups has been accepted but there are no info at all if a markup has been alerted to someone.
