View and Manage Private and Public Markup Layers in the Document Management Tool (iOS)
Background
Previously, all markups were displayed in a single, combined list, which could cause visual clutter and offered no distinction between personal notes and team-wide markups. The introduction of Markup Workloads and Layers allows you to toggle between private and public spaces. This ensures that personal annotations remain separate from official project markups, providing a cleaner and more organized document review experience.
Things to Consider
-
Required User Permissions: 'Read Only' or higher permissions on the project's Document Management tool.
-
Markup Spaces:
-
Private: Markups visible only to the user who created them.
-
Public: Markups shared and visible to all project members with permissions to view the document.
-
Workflow: Markups created as part of a specific document review workflow.
-
-
Selection Logic: Selecting a group or layer will automatically filter the drawing to show only the markups within that specific category.
Steps
Access and Toggle Markup Layers
-
Open the Procore app on your iOS mobile device.
-
Tap the project's Document Management tool.
-
Tap the document you want to view.
-
Tap the Markup icon in the viewer.
-
Select a specific space from the list to filter markups:
-
Private: Tap to view only your personal markups.
-
Public: Tap to view markups shared with the project team.
-
Workflow: Tap to view markups created as part of a review process.
Note: When a layer is selected, the viewer will only populate the markups belonging to that specific list.
-
Manage Markup Groups and Drill Down
-
While in a markup list, tap a Markup Group to select all items within that collection.
-
To see individual items, tap the Arrow next to a group to drill down into the list of specific markups.
-
Tap an individual markup in the list to automatically select and center that markup on the document.
Search and Filter Markups
-
Tap the Search icon at the top of the markup panel.
-
Enter a keyword or a specific user's name.
-
Tap the Filter icon to refine the list by specific criteria, such as a user name.
Note: The list will update to show only those markups created by the selected user across both private and workflow spaces.
