You can navigate subfolders via the breadcrumb at the top of the page.

Share a file with the client

By default, files are not visible to the client.

2. Click to toggle visibility:
   • Open eye: the file is visible to the client
   • Crossed-out eye: the file is hidden from the client

For more details on client sharing, see Client sharing.

Annotate an image or PDF

On an image or PDF, open the preview then click the document to place a pinpoint comment. The team and clients can reply in the same thread, resolve the item, or mention someone with @.

See Annotations for details.

Preview audio and video

Audio and video files open in the same preview, with a built-in player (play, pause, volume). They are not annotatable.

As with other files, the client only sees those made visible (eye icon).

Product files

Each product has its own file space:

1. Open a product
2. Go to the Files tab on the product page

Documents attached to a product (technical sheets, visuals, etc.) are grouped in this folder.

Export folders

When you export products (PDF spec book or Excel spreadsheet), Archispec generates files in dedicated project folders.

1. See Select products to start an export
2. Once generation is complete, find the file in the project Files tab

Client side

Clients invited to the project can view and download only files you have made visible. They cannot add, edit, or delete files. They can, however, annotate visible images and PDFs.
