Teams Integration

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Lots of organizations are moving from network drives to Microsoft Teams / Sharepoint for storage. One major issue is that you can't edit PDFs directly from Teams, so you're required to "sync" all the files to your computer.

This causes inevitable sync issues and slowdowns when there are many files.

It'd be nice if there was a handler of some sort that integrated with Bluebeam's Sharepoint support to allow opening files directly from Teams.

The best way ive found for working with shared files stored on Teams/Sharepoint is to link them directly into your OneDrive. It makes it a lot easier to navigate using your PC's File explorer, as well as allowing you to open the shared files using your default applications.

Agreed this is a big deal. Linking the various onedrive/sharepoint sources is tedious and not practical for one-off shared pdf files, the sharepoint bluebeam plugin is very unreliable, and the sharepoint access through bluebeam is really slow when it works at all. Bluebeam really needs to get into the native onedrive/sharepoint atmosphere.

You can open Teams files in Bluebeam directly from Teams, edit, and just hit save and it will save it correctly, Teams had this update sometime last year. You want to right-click over the file and select "Open in App" and this will open it in the default viewer - which should be Bluebeam in this case. This is so much better than syncing, opening in Explorer, etc. You can do this from Sharepoint and OneDrive as well.

That said, I'd rather have a native integration within Teams itself so if you open it directly in Teams you can do some direct markups.

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.
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.
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…
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…
