    We have a pretty small department, so knowledge can be spread pretty easily, especially with weekly meetings, but when I see one of them struggling or I notice going the long way around, I ask them why they did that, followed by a “Did you know…”.

    All outside our department don’t use the full extent, but in their case, I have a consolidated shortcut reference that’s highlighted with the important stuff, and they get their profile from us. Alot of them don’t even know how to modify things in their profile, all they might do is Counts and comments. If we have a new procedure, the training falls on us, so those are the opportunities I take to teach them the little things that can generally help with navigation and the like.

    After a while of that, most started to get the picture that I was the resident expert, so then they would start bringing the questions to me. Now almost every day I have someone ask, “Hey, how did you….”, “Have you seen this happen?”, or my favorite, “Is something like this possible?”

    Probably all on a way smaller scale than your office though, only about 100 here.

    😬 yeah no way to undo as it literally cuts the rest of the page out. You can see this when you take a single page (testing file) to the crop and page setup and go to a smaller size, press clear. That should replicate what you were seeing. Then after processing you could try to set to original page size and when you press clear this time it should revert to the original position, except the most of the print is gone now. I wish it could keep track of off page content. Glad you had a backup.

      OK maybe I was wrong. The preview shows that when you try to go back to the original size it would be mostly cut off, but after actually running it, you get your page content back, albeit positioning may need to be worked a bit.

    Hmmm I wonder if you export the markups if you can change it in the bax file. Not really as a workaround as much as a test. Maybe export, get rid of the markups temporarily, then run the print through stapler as a Revu PDF, then re-import.

    This is a new one for me too. Hyperlinks created with BB batch? This is after the Printing? Purpose of printing?

      I kind of wonder if trying to transfer these markups and tools to be usable in the cloud is changing the base way they function, like how X, Y coordinates are handled. Markups in general have been weird lately, especially when creating an output whether it be stapling or printing. I’ve had markups disappear, stretch, change properties, all sorts of weird stuff, but the ctrl+p is usually the most stable on my end.

    We are just now getting into sharepoint, but any chance it’s the library settings on Sharepoint itself?

    There’s no way that I have seen to do this, especially not with a type input like that. I don’ think a line style is what your looking for as the original literally says to type your text. Best I can come up with for the circle is creating word art in a MS app like word, transforming it, then copying and pasting as an image to BB so you can make a repeatable tool. Go to preferences for the image and you can “Mask Color” (white) to remove background. Still no type input there, but it will look the way you want with some object settings adjustments. Bad news is that the only program I know of that can follow a square like that is PhotoShop

    Typically if I need to copy paste a sequence, I will Flatten/Unflatten which “kills” the sequence. I will have to do some testing, but I don’t believe that would be possible in session.

    For sure, but I don’t want to also have to open the set file to get the latest and greatest, should all be in one directory so I can easily upload to ACC, PG etc. Also way easier to open multiple prints at once, and I also use the alt+pgup or pgdwn to navigate through a folder. I want to drag and drop my latest and greatest into emails without opening the set, etc. So many little things that are solved by having them in one place. And again I don’t want to create a separate overlay file, I want that on my revision file and I want to replace the background on my Takeoff set, so that the overlay and counts stay with the revision, but my markups also transfer to the new. Lol this discussion has gone a bit off topic.

    Our process very similar, see snapshot. I wish Sets had the capability of doing this setup automatically, replacing the page and transferring markups to the “Takeoff Set” instead of just going to the latest revision and staying in that folder. We like to keep the overlays in the revision folder as a way to track bidding, another reason to stay away from sets for now.

    I am seeing the problem now in the forums, and apparently it is that way on purpose, with microsoft having no intent on changing the way it operates. I have tried to find direct program calls before for Revu with no luck, Best I could find was definitely the long way around and I can imagine would nto work for everyone settings wise as it forces a download on click every time:
