Join a Studio Project

Studio Project acts as a simple document management system. After joining a Project, you will be able to access Project files and check out those documents for editing. So long as somebody has a Project file checked out, nobody else will be able to edit it, ensuring document control. You will need a Studio account before you can join a Project and either have been invited to attend or have been given the Project ID.

 

ClosedWhat Can I Do in a Studio Project?

Projects are PDF and other file types stored in the cloud. These files have been shared and you have been invited to the Project to contribute to the project. PDF files are opened in Revu where the files can be marked up and edited. Other files types can also be added to the project. These files are opened in their own programs, like Word and Excel.

ClosedWhat Do I Need to Join a Studio Project?

You need only three things (besides a computer) to participate in a Studio Project:

  1. An installation of Revu or Vu (version 8.5 or above), or Revu for iPad.
  2. An email address (to create a Studio Server account).
  3. An Internet connection.

Attendees do not need to purchase Revu to participate in Studio. Both Vu and a trial version of Revu can be used to access Studio, both of which can be downloaded from http://www.bluebeam.com.

A Studio Account must be created so the host can authorize you to participate in the Project and so other Attendees can identify you. The account is free and only requires a valid email address.

An Internet connection is required so you can connect to the Studio server, studio.bluebeam.com. A dial-up connection is not recommended.

ClosedJoining a Studio Project

You might receive an invitation to the Studio Project a number of ways, though the most common are by email or in person (in either case, you should also be told the Studio ID, which you can use to join).

Before you can join a Studio Project , you must have a Studio account. If you do not, it's a simple matter to create one.

If you received an email invitation to a Studio Project , click on the Project URL in the message and you will connect to the Studio server automatically.

If you do not have a Studio account, the Create Studio Account dialog box appears first. You must create an account to join the Project.

You can also join a Studio Project using the Studio ID:

  1. Go to View > Tabs > Studio or press ALT+C to access the Studio tab.

  2. Click Join. The Join dialog box appears.

    • If you do not have a Studio account, the Create Studio Account dialog box appears first. You must create an account to join the Session.
  3. Enter the Studio ID and click OK.
