Find & Replace text in Annotations - duuh!

I cannot "find & replace" text in annotations such as Call-Outs or Text. The work-around to flatten annotations (becomes part of the pdf proper) will not allow unflattening after find & replace operations, which is unacceptable. Please do not make paying customers jump through hoops such as bax export, use 3rd party python scripts to un-compress bax format to then find & replace, re-compress and import back into the pdf, or import to Adobe to do same there. THIS IS CRAZY!!! Get your stuff together please and at least add a checkbox for Annotations in the Replace Dialog of the Find Function.

Since we are in the Idea post: 1) Simplify the dialog to something everyone is familiar with such as the MS-Word dialog and 2) add context-sensitive filter options of "Meta Tags" such as Subject, Page Label, Autor, Date, Status, Color, Layer, Checkmark e.g. those Meta-Tags only populate in the Find & Replace dialog if they have divergent values across the pdf.

There is no patience with this license manager for the lack of at least a rudimentary find & replace text option for annotations.

Here is a follow-up idea: Actually, for the Dev team it would likely be easier to just add a separate <Find & Replace> sub-dialog to the Markup filter selections, which would be parent in that case.

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.
Numbered Lists and Bulleted List
This has been requested many many times in the past by many Revu users. WHY is there STILL no numbered/bulleted list function??
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…
