The Review Panel gives you a complete overview of all comments without having to navigate back to individual drawings. It is the primary place to assess the state of a review before exporting.
What the Review Panel shows
Each entry in the Review Panel corresponds to a comment on the drawing. The entry includes:
- The item number (matches the number on the drawing and in exports)
- The comment title and description
- The current status
- Replies from any project member
- The drawing and revision the comment belongs to
Using the Review Panel before export
Before generating an Excel or PDF export, use the Review Panel to:
- Check that every comment has been reviewed and is in the correct status.
- Read any replies that may need a response before the export goes out.
- Confirm item numbers are sequential and complete — gaps may indicate deleted or merged items that should be noted.
- Look for open items that the engineering firm has not yet acknowledged.
Exporting with items still open is sometimes intentional — for example, to send a progress snapshot mid-review. In that case, note in the cover email that the comment list includes open items.
Navigating from the Review Panel to the drawing
Selecting a comment in the Review Panel takes you to the corresponding annotation on the drawing. This is useful for verifying the exact position of a comment when reviewing replies from the engineering firm.
