Feature request: Attatching several photos to a markup/comment using Bluebeam Mobile "in the field"

In our work, we make many visits to construction sites for inspections and to review fire compartmentation etc. in existing buildings. We currently use Revu for iPad for making notes on drawings while in field. In most cases, we take a lot of photos, which we can now (with Revu for iPad) collect under a comment using Revu for iPad.
This feature seems to be missing in the new Bluebeam for mobile? Here, it seems that we can only add images directly to the drawing, which becomes very messy when taking a lot of pictures when reviewing a whole building.
It also does not seem to be possible to make a markup and then add images in the form of comments.

Bluebeam for mobile, which is supposed to replace Revu for Ipad as product for use in the field, seems to completely lack a good way to collect multiple images linked to a point on the drawing? This feature was available in Revu for iPad, and we would like to see the same or a similar feature added as soon as possible. Otherwise, image management after a visit to the field becomes a nightmare if we have to sit and sort all the photos manually via desktop.

If there is a way to do this using Bluebeam for Mobile that I haven't found, please tell me.

Hi @HenricMattsson ,

Thanks for outlining your workflow. You’re right. Today, images are placed directly on the page, and we don’t yet support attaching multiple photos to a single markup the way Revu for iPad did. For field inspections, that’s a real gap.

We just finished rolling out core markups, measurements, and offline access. Photo-to-markup workflows are now a priority, and we’re actively working on a better way to capture and organize images in the field, targeting the second half of this year.

In the meantime, if you previously purchased Revu for iPad, you can still reinstall it from the App Store under “My Apps.” We had to remove it from sale because Apple no longer allows updates on that legacy technology, and we’re focused on building forward in one mobile app.

If you’re open to it, I’d value a short call to understand how many photos you typically attach per markup and what your ideal flow looks like. That input will directly shape how we build this.

Best,

We are happy to hear that photo-to-markup workflows is a priority.
