How to use the Revu SharePoint extension
Applies to:
- Revu 21
- Revu 20
Revu 20.1 introduced a SharePoint extension that allows you to open PDFs in Revu from your SharePoint library. Once the extension has been installed in your SharePoint environment, you can check out, edit, and check in your PDFs, all from within Revu.
Open SharePoint PDFs in Revu from a browser
To open SharePoint PDFs in Revu, here's how:
-
Open your SharePoint site in a web browser.
-
Right-click a file name, and then select Open in Revu.
-
A pop-up window will ask if you want to allow SharePoint to open files in Revu in the future. Check the box for Always Allow and then select Open Link.
If you attempt to open a file that isn't a PDF, you'll receive an error.
Your PDF will open in Revu. To see a list of recently opened files, open the Recents folder of the 
File Access tab.
To check files out from SharePoint and begin editing, select the 
lock icon in the Document tab of your workspace, then click 
Check Out. You can check the file back into SharePoint by selecting 
Check In within the same menu.
Open SharePoint documents from the Document Management toolbar
Once you've opened a file using the Open in Revu option in SharePoint, Revu will remember your SharePoint credentials. You can then use the Document Management toolbar to access your SharePoint files without leaving Revu.
To enable the toolbar in Revu, go to Tools > Toolbars > Document Management. The toolbar should already be connected to SharePoint Online. Select 
Open File (DMS) to begin browsing your SharePoint server.
