Undock Tool Sets from the Tool Chest: Customizing the Workspace

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Description:
A feature that allows users to detach a specific tool set from the Tool
Chest and place it as a floating, resizable panel for quick access.

How It Works:
Users right-click a tool set in the Tool Chest and select "Undock as
Floating Panel."
The selected tool set appears as a separate, movable window.
Users can resize the panel and position it anywhere on the screen.
The undocked panel remains accessible until manually closed or re-docked.

Benefits:
✔ Provides faster access to frequently used markups.
✔ Reduces clutter by keeping only relevant tools visible.
✔ Allows for customized workspace layouts based on user preferences.
✔ Saves time compared to navigating through multiple tool sets.

Right click on the Tool Chest icon, Click "Attach", and then "Detach". See GIF below.

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.
