  2. On the Document Management toolbar, select Bluebeam Studio Projects from the drop-down menu if it isn't already selected.
    If the toolbar isn't visible, go to Tools > Toolbars > Document Management.
  3. Click Save As (DMS). If prompted, log into Bluebeam Studio.
  4. In the Save Project File dialog, double-click on the desired project and folder, and select OK to upload the document into the project.
    In Revu 21, if you have a Basics subscription plan, the Studio Project won't appear in the Save Project dialog unless you were invited to it and joined via email.
