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 who are hosting their own Studio servers. To add Bluebeam Software's open Studio Server, see Create a Bluebeam Studio Server Account.

To add a new Studio server:

1. Select the Studio tab.

2. Click the menu arrow to the right of the current Studio server and select Manage Servers. The Server Profiles dialog box appears.

   

   

3. Click Add. The Add Server dialog box appears.

   

4. Enter the URL of the Studio sever in the Server URL field.
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 (if you do not have a Studio account on this server, see Creating a New Studio Account below after configuring the server to set one up):
   1. Enter your email address in the Email field.
   2. Select Remember password.
   3. Enter a password for this Studio account in the Password field.

   Note: 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. Click OK.

Before you can log into Studio, you must create an account on your Studio server. This procedure assumes that the Studio server has already been configured in Revu; if this is not the case, do that first.

To create a new Studio account:

1. Select the Studio tab.

2. Click Connect. The Studio Login dialog box appears.

   

   If the icon shows that you are currently connected to a Studio server (), click the arrow to its right and select Switch Users to bring up the Studio Login dialog box.

3. Select the Studio server on which you would like to create an account from the Studio Server menu.

4. Click Create New Account. The Create Studio Account dialog box appears.

   

5. Enter your email address in the E-mail field.
6. Enter a password for this Studio account in the Password field.
7. Reenter the password in the Confirm field.
8. If you would like Revu to remember this password and log you into Studio automatically, select Remember Password.
9. If you would like to change the way your name is shown when you are logged into Studio, change it in the Name field.
10. Click OK.
    

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 given Studio server at a time, but the details for an account can be changed as needed. Some fields (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).

To manage an existing account:

1. Select the Studio tab.

2. Click the menu arrow to the right of the current Studio server and select Manage Servers. The Server Profiles dialog box appears.

   

   

3. Select the desired account and click Edit. The Edit Server dialog box appears.

   

4. Edit any of the information shown as needed. Be aware of the following:
   • You must be logged into the account to edit the Password field. In order to change your password, click Change Password. You cannot edit the Password field directly.
   • The Server URL and Email fields for the primary/default Studio server cannot be changed. To edit these fields, switch to a different server first.
5. Click OK.
