With Autodesk Docs in the ACC, you can upload, view, and manage versions of files.
00:09
To automatically create versions of documents, begin on the Docs Files page with the appropriate project folder open.
00:17
Then, from your device’s file explorer, navigate to a new version of the file you wish to upload.
00:23
Ensure the file has a matching name to the original file.
00:27
Drag and drop the file to the Files page.
00:30
An Upload files dialog displays with a loading bar, indicating the upload progress.
00:36
Click Done.
00:38
In this example, an updated file is uploaded that was associated with an issue.
00:43
From the Issues page, the status of the associated issue updates to Pending due to the new version upload.
00:50
Select the issue, and then from the Issue panel, under Placement, select the link to the updated document.
00:58
Once the document opens, review the versions of the document.
01:02
From the filename, the version number displays.
01:05
Expand the filename.
01:07
From this drop-down, select a previous version of the document.
01:12
This can be helpful if you need to review the issue before its status is changed and the new version of the document uploaded.
01:19
You can also compare two document versions, either using an overlay comparison or a side-by-side comparison.
01:26
In the document, select the issue.
01:29
From the Issue panel, select Compare.
01:33
The Compare documents dialog opens.
01:37
The compare feature lets you compare two versions of the same 2D or 3D file, or two different 2D files.
01:45
A comparison is useful if you want a clear view of any changes between files or file versions.
01:51
Select the two files you want to compare.
01:54
Note that you can change the file for comparison if you need to by clicking Change to select a different file.
02:01
Once you have the files you want selected, click Compare.
02:05
Then, view the updates.
02:07
The default view mode for comparisons is Overlay.
02:11
The differences are shown in colors that are indicated in the Compared Documents dialog.
02:16
To change the view mode, from the toolbar, select Overlay > Side By Side.
02:23
A slider displays.
02:25
Click and drag the slider to review the differences between the two files.
02:30
