Marking up a PDF

Good to know

  • Opening a file tells the studio you have seen it.
  • When the studio replaces a file with a newer version, you see the latest one.
  • You can't upload files here. To send the studio a photo or document, attach it in Messages.
  • PDF mark-up works in Files. Drawings in Drawings are view and download only.
  • If you see "Files is turned off", the studio has not opened this section for your project.
