Below are the notable changes to the Document Management (Beta) in 2022.

The following markup elements are available within the Document Management Viewer on the Procore web application: Pen, Line, Arrow, Highlight, Rectangle, Ellipse, Cloud, Text, and Stamps. You can also change the markup Width, Color, and Opacity, and use the Undo or Redo commands as necessary.
Note: Currently, mobile users can view markup elements, but cannot create or edit markup elements within the mobile app.

You can now search for documents within the Document Management tool using the Procore Search bar. See Search for and Filter Documents and Search for Items Within a Project Using Procore Search.
