Hello Autodesk Team, I would like to suggest an enhancement to the Autodesk Forma Data Management Review Workflow. Current Situation In the current workflow, reviewers can create markups throughout their review session. However, these markups remain as Draft until the reviewer manually clicks Publish Markups. Many users assume that clicking Complete Review, Approve, or Approve with Comments automatically publishes all markups. Unfortunately, this is not the case. As a result, reviewers may complete their review believing they have submitted all comments, while the document originator and other reviewers cannot see any of the unpublished markups. This has caused confusion and rework on our EPC projects, especially when multiple disciplines are involved in document reviews. This issue occurs frequently because reviewers naturally expect that completing a review also submits all associated comments. Suggested Improvements I would appreciate one or both of the following idea: Option 1 Automatically publish all draft markups when the reviewer clicks "Complete Review". This would ensure that all review comments are visible once the review is officially submitted. Option 2 If automatic publishing is not preferred for all users, display a warning before completing the review. For example: You have unpublished markups. These markups will not be visible to the document originator or other reviewers. Would you like to publish them before completing your review? [Publish & Complete] [Complete Without Publishing] [Cancel] This approach preserves user control while preventing accidental omissions. A simple automatic publish option, or warning dialog would greatly improve usability while reducing human error. Thank you for considering this idea.
