I would hesitate to add another custom column, I already have 29. 🙃

I need to make more suggestions. I run across them all the time!

When I was reading this I was thinking of Chrome and the right-click “open link in new tab”. That would be a great feature.

Great question @sss78132
I learned the hard way that when you “Clear Resents” it actaully clears all the pinned categories also. Very frustrating. At a minimum, I’m glad you still have the old computer to reference, I had to build mine back by memory.
I don’t know of a way to save and share these, but I wonder if you are signed into Revu 21 if it would still be there when you sign in on the new computer. For some reason I doubt it.
Wish I had more advice. Right-click “open folder” will be your freind to locate all the files again.

Makes for an interesting training session when students are expecting to learn and we can’t even log in. Bugs happen, hope they get it up soon.

Great list! I used to do a Letterman Top 10 blog post with each new release. I have a blog post in the works from our friend @RebeccaYu and her checklist for drawing preparation for Studio Sessions. Some of the comments here are addressed there as well. It’s in a stack of “coming soon” items that are, well, coming soon. 😜

Just like @isaac-harned says, there is no way to edit someone else’s markups in a Session. The Check-Out / Check-In in a Studio Project is the same as the Google workflow you laid out. One suggestion is to Right-click Reply to the existing markup to communicate with the original person. After discussion, they may update their own markup. Or create a new markup, so both users can compare and pick the best option to apply to the CAD/Modeling file. Maybe you create a status to tell the technician when the markups are ready to be applied so they don’t make the changes too quickly. Great questions @rick-nimtz thanks for being here!

You and Tammy are always in my prayers @Doug McLean I hope the stress of moving is behind you all so you can focus on fighting, strengthening, and healing. You have a large community of people (you have never met in person😜) pulling for you guys. We all care about you just the same. Keep strong and reach out if you need anything.

@Liz is a fantastic resource, definitely plug them into her site. As you know the UC2 website has tons of free content including videos, blogs, downloads, events, and this forum. Beyond that, I would love to talk to her team, learn their current paper workflows, and come up with a personalized training plan, that allows them to skip all the discovery time of self-learning. I can get them up and running in just a few hours.

Those are good ideas, but I’ve already made it complicated enough for the customer. Lots of hidden columns already and I’m avoiding a Y/N column for 15 different materials. I’d add an image, but I would need a wide screen to see them all. 😜

Great feedback Isaac, I looked at the meeting setup, and it should have an “Add to Calendar” option in the registration confirmation email. I don’t see where I can automate a reminder, but I can try to manually send it each time. If I create a webinar instead of a meeting, I can automate a reminder, but then it mutes everyone. I want everyone to be able to discuss things openly. Always open to suggestions to make things better.

This was just a gif I used for the feature image for the post to get some attention. 😁

Welcome to the community @tshupe
Bluebeam is definitely working on improving Cloud, I hope it gets to the point of Revu in the Cloud on any device. But that’s a way out. Was the Snapshot image part of Cloud or are you talking about a PDF summary in Revu where you can click and have it go directly to the markup? I haven’t played with Cloud enough (and it’s been a long time) to know if you could do that or not.

Whether they are internal or external customers, thinking of those downstream is always the right mindset. It reduces redundant work to your internal team and might be the edge that makes external customers pick you over the next guy.
