Open files Read-Only from Windows Explorer

Let's finally get an open Read-Only option from Windows Explorer and inside Revu. It's long overdue. This is all about courtesy in the workgroup, accessibility and availability.

Windows Explorer implies it's not in the cloud and is available to a workgroup. Not needing simultaneous edits, just read-only! Thanks.

Agreed — I had submitted a product suggestion on this issue to BB long ago, and got a "Huh? But why???" response back. Hopefully someone at BB will take note of this renewed request.

(Another reason I have wanted this functionality, beyond those which @Pat Coyne listed, is when working with both a reference/historical version of a PDF and a current 'review' version of the same document, opening the 'reference' file as read-only prevents accidentally adding markups to a file that shouldn't be modified.)

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??
Grouping Tabs for Open PDFs
Request is for the ability to group open PDFs into tabs, similar to the way that Microsoft Edge allows for web pages to be grouped together into tabs (Edge allows you to take a number of open websites and add them to a named / color-coded group tab. This allows for multiple websites to be open, but organized into group…
Feature Request: Add "Crop" Functionality to Snapshot Markups
Hi Bluebeam Team, I am writing to suggest a feature update that would significantly improve the workflow efficiency for users who rely on the Snapshot tool (G). Current Issue: Currently, if a user takes a snapshot and realizes there is excess content or "clutter" around the edges, they must delete the snapshot and re-take…
