Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions:
    • To view PDF attachments and their markups on submittals not marked 'Private':
      • 'Read Only' level permissions or higher on the project's Submittals tool.
  • Additional Information:
    • PDF attachments with markups (including blank pages or cover pages) that were added in Procore are displayed in the submittal's workflow under the name of the user who most recently added markups to the attachment.
    • Only markups that were added in Procore are included in the PDF attachment's 'Markup List'.
    • If markups (including blank pages or cover pages) were added to a PDF attachment in Procore, only the most recent version of that attachment can be viewed in the mobile app.
    • A banner with the text "File May Be Out of Date" displays if you open attachments that are not previous versions of attachments and that were not included in the current or most recently completed workflow step.
    • A 'Current' label displays next to an PDF attachment's name when you open a PDF attachment that is considered current. A PDF attachment is considered current when one or all of the following statements is true:
      • It has markup that was added in Procore during the active or the most recently completed workflow step.
      • It has a blank page or cover page that was added in Procore during the active or the most recently completed workflow step.
      • It was uploaded in the active or the most recently completed workflow step.
