    If I open an Excel File that is stored on Bluebeam Projects and make changes it does not save my changes. Anybody experience this?

    Are you checking the file out? I had a similar issue with powerpoint in the past.

    When you open a non PDF from Projects, it opens a local copy.

    You’ll have to check the file back in once you save it.
    If you look in your Pending box on the Projects homepage, you will see the file you have checked out.
    Check it in from there.

      What happens when there is no ‘Check in’ in the Pending Box. Troubleshooting this for some one else.

        It was the ‘Restrict Users’ check box in Projects, needed to be unchecked.

          Thanks for the follow-up. That means the user never had permission to do anything other than view the file. Good catch!

          For anyone searching this issue, the person who creates the Studio Project needs to make sure all the users who are invited have the correct permissions and access to documents.

          Thanks @ChrisRiley
