### **How it works**

1. **Open Autodesk Forma Submittals in the Connector**\
   You’ll see all Submittals assigned to you, along with the reference file and the next available action.
2. **Send files to Bluebeam for markup**

   Select the previous step’s file to be sent to Bluebeam. Open Bluebeam for adding markups.
3. **Return the reviewed file**

   To return the file open your final step in the Submittal. Transfer the updated PDF back through the Connector.
4. **Complete and close the Submittal**

   When all steps are done, the final reviewer sends the completed file to the final stage. The Submittal will then be closed and distributed.

## Release Update - January 2026

### What we heard?

The ACC-Bluebeam Connector user base keeps growing — and every user is also an ACC user. Managing multiple logins can feel like a hassle, so we set out to make it easier.

### What we did?

* **ACC SSO**: You can now sign in using your Autodesk credentials with Single Sign-On.

### How it works?

When signing in, simply click the Autodesk logo to log in. Your existing Connector account will link to your Autodesk profile, so all your previous settings — like connections and favorite bookmarks — stay intact.

You can choose which login method you prefer at any time. Just remember: access always requires your company email.

## Release Update - December 2025

### What we heard?

The ACC–Bluebeam Connector has been well received! Users often work with the same ACC folders and Bluebeam Sessions repeatedly. The main reason for using the Connector is to save time, so reducing manual work remains our top priority.

### What we did?

* **Favourite Bookmarks:** Added the ability to save frequently used folders and locations as bookmarks.
* **Recent Connections:** Introduced a **“Last Used”** button on the File Transfer page for quick access to recent connections.
* **Create New Project/Session:** Users can now create a new Bluebeam Studio Project or Session directly from the File Transfer page.
* **Management Page Relocation:** The **Management** page has been moved under **Connections** for easier navigation.

### How it works?

#### Favourite Bookmarks
