How to access Studio Sessions for the web

After you sign into Bluebeam on the web with your Bluebeam ID (BBID), select Studio Sessions on the left sidebar. Any Studio Session you've created or have been invited to will appear on this page. If you don't have an active Session, the option for Studio Sessions won't appear. You may also join a Session through iOS.

You need a Core or Complete subscription plan to host a Session in Revu 21 or in Bluebeam on the web. Session hosts can invite unpaid collaborators to Sessions.

How to work in a Session

When you open a Session, you start on the first page of your drawing set. To navigate the files within a Session, select the page label at the top left corner. To navigate the pages within a document, use the navigation bar at the bottom.

You have access to the markup tools currently available in Bluebeam on the web. Several Revu markups are partially supported or unsupported in Bluebeam on the web.

To view markup data, set statuses, and reply to markups, select Markups.

By default, comments refer to text-based markups (e.g. text boxes and callouts), while shapes refer to all other markups.

Custom statuses are available in Sessions for the web. You or another collaborator must set a custom status in Revu before the custom status becomes available in Bluebeam on the web.

Best Practices

File Management

Large files may slow performance within Sessions for the web. We recommend limiting the page number and complexity of the files in the Session.

Access Sessions from Revu or Bluebeam on the web

If you attempt to access a Session from both Revu and Bluebeam on the web, you'll be removed from the initial point of access. For example, if you join a Session on the web while already in the Session in Revu, you'll be removed from the Session in Revu.
