Bluebeam Tip: Auditable Studio Transmittals in Bluebeam Revu

Studio Transmittals in Bluebeam Revu streamline how you package and distribute deliverables while maintaining a clear audit trail.

How to issue a clean, auditable transmittal from a Studio Project:

• In Studio Project, select the files (or folders) you need to send.
• Right‑click the selection and choose Create Transmittal (menu location may vary by version).
• Add recipients, subject, and notes, then choose your delivery method: save to disk, email, or place the package back into the Project.
• Set output to a ZIP or PDF Portfolio and pick where to store the transmittal log.

Key options to enable for professional packages:

• Create cover sheet and transmittal log (includes date, recipients, file list, and versions).
• Include current revisions only and pull referenced files/hyperlinks automatically.
• Flatten markups and lock measurement scales to prevent unintended edits.
• Apply PDF/A where required and digitally sign the cover sheet if your process mandates it.

Workflow tips to reduce rework and questions:

• Slip Sheet revised drawings before packaging so recipients always get the latest set.
• Standardize naming: Issue_YYMMDD_Pkg-##, and save a transmittal template for repeat use.
• Attach a Markups List Summary when issuing review comments for clear context.
• Store the generated log in a dedicated Project folder (e.g., /Outgoing/Transmittals) for audits.
• Use custom columns (Status, Discipline, Package No.) to filter and report what was sent.
• Run Preflight/Optimize to keep file sizes email-friendly without sacrificing readability.
