Manage Studio accounts

Revu can be configured to connect to multiple Studio servers, though users may only have one account on a Studio server at a time. Users who have never connected to Studio or users who need to connect to a Session or Project being housed on a new Studio server might need to configure a connection to the appropriate Studio server in Revu.

This procedure is intended for users looking to access enterprise-hosted Studio servers. Bluebeam's open, cloud-based servers are automatically configured in Revu, so all you need to do is create a Studio account on one to use it. You can also use this procedure if you deleted a Bluebeam Studio server and want to add it back.

To add a new Studio server, follow these steps:

1. Go to Revu > Preferences.

2. Select Studio to view the Studio preferences.

3. On the Servers tab, select Add.
4. In the Create New Server dialog, enter the URL of the Studio sever in the Address field.

   If you are recreating an entry for a previously deleted Studio server, those URLs are listed below. Use the appropriate one.

   • United States: studio.bluebeam.com
   • United Kingdom: bluebeamstudio.co.uk
   • Australia: bluebeamstudio.com.au
5. If you already have a Studio account on this server and would like Revu to use it to log in automatically, enter its credentials in the available fields (if you do not already have a Studio account on this server, you can still enter credentials for one now, just be aware that this does not create the account for you and you will still need to go through the Creating a New Studio Account process before you can log in; just use the same email address and password when you do):
   1. Enter your email address in the Email field.
   2. To have Revu remember your password for you, select Remember password and enter it in the Password field.

   You do not need to save your password here. If you do not, you will be prompted for it anytime you log into Studio.

6. Select OK.

Before you can log into a Studio server, you must create an account on it, be it one of Bluebeam's open, cloud-based Studio servers or an enterprise server that has been previously configured. Accounts are not shared across servers: if you need to use more than one Studio server, create an account on each (you can use the same login credentials on multiple servers if you wish).

To create a new Studio account, follow these steps:

1. Go to Window > Panels > Studio or press ALT+C to access the Studio panel.

2. Select a Studio server from the Sign In menu. Bluebeam's open, cloud-based Studio servers will be listed along with any internal servers that have been previously configured. If the desired server is already selected, select Sign In. The Bluebeam Studio login dialog appears.

   If the icon shows that you are currently connected to a Studio server (), go to Studio > Sign Out first.

3. Select the Create Account tab.

   

4. Enter your information in the fields provided.
   • Your Display Name is how others will identify you in Studio.
   • Passwords must be be 8-32 characters and include at least one of each of the following:
     • Lowercase letter
     • Uppercase letter
     • Number
     • Special character
5. Select Create Account then review and accept the terms and conditions that appear.
   

You will receive a verification email after you create the account. Follow the instructions in this email in order to complete the validation process. You must validate the email address or you will not be able to continue using the account.

You can only have one account on a Studio server at a time, but the details for an account can be changed as needed. What you can edit depends on a few factors. With Bluebeam's open, cloud-based servers, you won't be able to change the server information, but you can change your password or your display name. For enterprise servers, some fields (Name and Password) can only be changed while you are logged into the account, while others (Server URL and Email) cannot be changed for the primary/default Studio server account (switch to a different server before editing those fields). That process is described here.

To manage an existing account on an enterprise server, follow these steps:

1. Go to Revu > Preferences.

2. Select Studio to view the Studio preferences.

3. On the Servers tab, double-click the desired enterprise server.
4. In the Edit Server dialog, edit any of the information shown as needed. Be aware of the following when editing enterprise Studio servers:
   • You must be logged into the account to change the name and password. In order to change your password, select Change Password; the password cannot be changed directly from this dialog. For Bluebeam's cloud-based open server studio.bluebeam.com, you can recover your password from the Studio login screen.
   • The server name and email address for the primary/default Studio server cannot be changed. To edit these fields, switch to a different server first.
5. Select OK.

In addition to changing some account settings, you can sort Studio accounts or remove them entirely to control what appears on the Studio panel.

1. Go to Revu > Preferences.

2. Select Studio to view the Studio preferences.

3. Select the Servers tab.
4. To change an account's settings, see Editing Existing Accounts.
5. Drag Studio server accounts to rearrange the list.
6. To delete a Studio server account, select the account and select .
