In ACC Build, reviewers cannot save in-progress markups to RFI or Submittal attachments without submitting the official response. This forces reviewers to either complete all markups in one session or discard them, creating inefficiencies in review workflows.
When reviewing/marking up attachments for an RFI or Submittal, the reviewer must add their markups to attachments only when they are ready to submit it - there is no way to save these review markups and then come back to it later - you are forced to either submit the response or discard the file(s) with markups. This limitation has resulted in the A/E team having to locally download the attachments so they can do their review/markups offline as the review process often requires investigation and takes days to finish, and they need to be able to add markups to the documents. The downloading of the attachments creates files scattered either in their local drive or duplicates in ACC Docs, which is not ideal. The other option is to leave the ACC browser window open when in the review markup process, which is also not sustainable. This creates inefficiencies, storage clutter, and breaks the intended single-source-of-truth workflow in ACC.
SUGGESTION: Enable reviewers to “Save Response Draft” for RFI and Submittal responses, allowing attachments with markups, added cover sheets, and annotations to be stored in-progress without publishing the official response. The reviewer should be able to reopen the draft, continue markups, and then submit when ready.
