Manage Drawing Revisions for Takeoffs

Background

As project plans evolve, you may need to upload updated versions of a drawing. Procore Estimating tracks these as revisions, allowing you to maintain a history of your plans. Managing these revisions effectively ensures that your takeoff measurements remain accurate and aligned with the most current project scope.

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions:

    • ‘Standard’ or ‘Admin’ level permissions on the project’s Estimating tool.

  • Additional Information:

    • Existing takeoffs remain associated with the specific drawing version on which they were created.
