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.
I agree! It would be beneficial. I typically generate a quote for my customers. I always add a cover page to my quotes that bullets out any plan inconsistencies or asks questions for review.
Really need some more options for text editing. Basic functions that are available in almost all other software like bulleted lists, indention, change case, etc.
How is this not implemented yet…
We use Bluebeam for a lot of things, but specifically for submittal review a numbered or bulleted list would be great!
Hi all,
Thanks for the post and engagement on this. This is something that is mentioned in a number of different workflows by many different types of users. It's something that we would like to address in the future but are not committing to in 2025. We'll be sure to keep this thread updated if anything changes in the near-term.
Just out of curiosity, various apps handle auto-numbering and bullet point input slightly differently. Which app input method do you all prefer most?

I agree this has been needed for a long time as I was searching again for a solution. I would think MS Word would be a good method. Let's get it done in 2025 @Luke Prescott ! ;)
Yes, Bullet points and numbering would be amazing! I agree with @Rob Fetherston :), Like MS Word. Looking forward to 2025!
Yes, it is needed to provide quality markups. I agree with @Rob Fetherston :) that Word is the format most are familiar with and a good baseline. I am not sure why this can not be committed to in 2025, as it seems like a base-level tool to have. Looking forward to the improvement whenever it gets here.
Revu does not feature more advanced word processing features, such as paragraph styling or ordered and unordered lists (numbered lists and bulleted lists). We were surprised this was not already a feature. We'd love to see these features added to a future version of Revu.
Thanks!
Luke Prescott,
I don't think it needs to be too complicated. Basic bullets and numbered lists would really add to the functionality. Being able to have multilevel lists is key though. Across different software, I think Google Slides sets a nice balance in terms of how much text editing capability the platform allows without getting too complicated. Key features include line spacing, space before and after paragraphs, lists and indentations, sub and superscript, and a simple ruler for tab adjustments.
A couple other suggestions:
• Can you please make the filled arrow head not dependent on having a background colour in the text box, and make it pointier?
• Can leader lines and arrows be separated from the outline around a text box? I often want to adjust a leader line thickness but that forces me to have an outline around the text box.
• We also need an angular dimension option, not just linear.
I agree with all three of Graham's "other suggestions"
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 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…
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.
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…
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…
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.
