Attend a Studio Session
While attending a Studio Session, you will be able to interact with other Attendees and documents that
have been uploaded to the Session. You will need a Studio account before you can attend a Session and
either have been invited to attend or have been given the Session ID.
What Can I Do When I Attend a Studio Session?
For the most part, continue using Revu just like you normally do. By participating in a Studio session,
you are able to collaborate with members of your project team on one or more files. Use the Markup
and Measure tools to add comments and take-offs to the PDF document. Change, edit, and delete
markups and measures that you have created and Reply to any markup or measure that other
Attendees have created.
Additionally, there are features that are only available in a Session. You will see markups and
measures added by other Attendees immediately as they are added or changed. You can send an alert
about a markup to other Session Attendees to direct their attention to it. You can follow an Attendee
and your display will update to show what they are seeing. You can chat with other Attendees and you
can see a record of each markup, comment, and chat as it happens.
There are a few things that are different in a Studio Session. The Host, the person who started the
Session, is initially the only one who can add or remove documents from the Session. The Host can
give permissions for other users to add documents. You can Reply to other Attendees' markups and
measures, but you cannot edit them. You can add markups and measurements, but you cannot make
changes that change the PDF's content. For example, tools like Add, Delete or Reorder PDF pages, Edit
Text, Flatten and Sign are not available because they change the document's content. For the same
reason, you can use existing Bookmarks and Flags, but you cannot create new ones.
Menus and toolbars that cannot be accessed during Studio Sessions are grayed out.
The Session Host may restrict an Attendee's ability to save, print, or add markups to documents in the
Session.
You can continue to work with other documents while you work in a Session. The document tabs at
the top of the Revu workspace will display a small Studio icon for documents that are part of a
Session.
What Do I Need to Attend a Studio Session?
You need only three things (besides a computer) to participate in Studio:
1. An installation of Revu or Vu (version 8.5 or above), or Revu for iPad.
2. An email address (to create a Studio Server account).
3. An Internet connection.
Attendees do not need to purchase Revu to participate in Studio. Both Vu and a trial version of Revu
can be used to access Studio, both of which can be downloaded from http://www.bluebeam.com.
A Studio Account must be created so the Host can authorize you to participate in the Session and so
other users can identify you. The account is free and only requires a valid email address.

An Internet connection is required so you can connect to the Studio server. A dial-up connection is
not recommended.
Joining a Studio Session
You might receive an invitation to the Studio Session a number of ways, though the most common are
by email or in person (in which case, you should also be told the Studio ID, which you can use to join).
Before you can join a Studio Session , you must have a Studio account. If you do not, it's a simple
matter to create one.
If you received an email invitation to a Studio Session , click on the Session URL in the message and
you will connect to the Studio server automatically.
If you do not have a Studio account, the Create Studio Account dialog box appears first. You must
create an account to join the Session .
You can also join a Studio Session using the Studio ID:
1. Go to View >
2. Click
Tabs >
Studio or press ALT+C to access the Studio tab.
Join. The Join dialog box appears.
If you do not have a Studio account, the Create Studio Account dialog box
appears first. You must create an account to join the Session.
3. Enter the Studio ID and click OK.
