Changelog

Open Dashboards in any project's sidebar to see where the project stands this week. Each section starts with four dashboards: Project status (what is overdue, what was approved, and who holds the open work), Submittal tracker (ball in court, closures per week, spec divisions, and submittals at risk of holding up the work), RFI tracker (age, managers, and cost or schedule impact), and Design review issues (severity, discipline, and reviewer feedback). The organization's Dashboards adds a Portfolio overview of every project, most overdue first. Each dashboard reads your data as you, so people see only the records they can already open.

Every number leads to its records. Click a tile such as Overdue RFIs, a bar for a manager or a week, or View all under a table, and the Submittals, RFIs or Issues list opens with exactly those filters applied. Long tables show 10 rows with a Show more button.

The RFI and submittal lists gained the filters these links use, so you can apply them yourself too: Overdue, RFI cost or schedule impact and created dates, and submittal spec division and closed dates.

Want something else on screen? Click New dashboard and describe it. The agent builds it as a draft, and Managers and Admins publish it to the section. See Dashboards.

Stop redrawing the marks you make on every review. Select a check mark, a note, a revision cloud, or a group of marks in the PDF viewer, then choose Save markup, the bookmark icon in the menu that appears beside your selection. Give it a name, and it's ready for any page of any document, including Annotate & Download on submittals.

To use one, choose Apply markup in the viewer toolbar and pick a card. A faint copy follows your cursor; click where it belongs to place it. It lands at its saved size as a regular markup, so you can still move, resize, or delete it, and Undo takes it back. Press Esc to cancel.

Saved markups are yours alone until you share them. Turn on Share with your team when you save or edit one, and everyone in your organization can apply it, including people who aren't on the project you saved it from. Markups your teammates share appear under Your team with their initials. Use the pencil on your own cards to rename one or change its sharing; organization managers and admins can also remove shared markups.

Over the past few weeks we moved Specset's agents and document processing onto a newer generation of AI models. Each change was measured against real construction documents before it shipped.

Faster, more careful answers. The project agent now answers most questions in about half the time, and it is more careful about which document governs a question. Project Reviews reach the plan for your approval in about a minute and a half instead of several minutes, and those plans came out ahead in blind comparisons.

Sharper drawing reads. Schedules transcribe more accurately, especially on scanned sheets where door and panel schedule cells used to be misread. Dense panel schedules come through in a single pass, and fine print in general notes reads correctly. When an issue is marked up on a drawing, the box now lands on the specific row, note, or device instead of outlining the whole schedule.

Quicker comparisons and background tasks. Change detection in Plan Set Comparison runs more than twice as fast. Search filtering keeps more of the results that matter, and review summaries read more clearly.

There is nothing to turn on. New conversations, reviews, and uploads use the new models automatically.

Edit the schedule where you see it. Duration, remaining duration, start, finish, % complete, actual dates, calendar, and logic are all editable cells in the Gantt grid, and the network reschedules as you type. Drag a bar to move it, drag its end to change the finish, or drag the dot on a bar onto another activity to link them. Predecessors and successors take shorthand like A1010, A1020 SS+2d. Undo any change with the toolbar button or ⌘Z / Ctrl+Z, and pinch or Ctrl+scroll to zoom the timeline smoothly.

See the logic behind every activity. Select an activity to list its predecessors and successors in the side panel, with driving links marked and relationship types and lags editable in place. Its links are highlighted on the Gantt, and Trace logic narrows the view to its chain of predecessors or successors, by depth or driving links only.

Calendars. Each schedule has named work calendars with their own work week, holidays and shutdowns, and make-up days, and any activity can run on its own, such as a seven-day calendar for concrete cure. Durations, lags, and float count workdays on each activity's calendar, and work in progress is scheduled from its remaining duration as of the data date, the way Primavera P6 does it. P6 and Microsoft Project imports and exports carry every calendar.

Print to PDF. Print the Gantt as a vector PDF, 11×17 landscape by default. Choose the paper and orientation, columns, timescale, and date range; print the whole schedule, the current view, or critical activities only; and include baseline bars, relationship lines, and the critical path.

See Scheduling for the full guide. Scheduling is in beta; reach out to your account team for access.

Share a drawing coordination review as a single marked-up PDF. Select issues in the issue list, choose Export, and select Annotated drawings (.pdf). Specset gathers their marked drawing sheets and adds boxed captions that explain each issue beside its location.

Only sheets with visible issue annotations are included. Sheets shared by several selected issues appear once, with their comments together. Add the optional issue index for a compact list with links to the marked drawings, or leave it off to start straight with the sheets.

Flatten annotations is on by default for sharing. Excel and CSV exports remain available in the same menu. Large drawing exports can take a few minutes, so keep the export window open until the download begins.

Add the same group of people to a project without selecting everyone individually. Create a team under Members → Teams, choose its members, and assign it to one or more projects. You can also select teams when creating a project or adding project members.

When someone joins or leaves a team, their membership in the team's projects updates automatically. People keep their existing roles, and removing a team from a project doesn't remove anyone who was also added directly or given a project-specific role.

Finish your markup and record your review response in the same step. Under Org Settings → Stamps, add or edit a stamp and choose its Submittal approver status, such as Approved or Revise and Resubmit. Existing stamps can be mapped without uploading them again.

Apply the stamp from a submittal's Annotate & Download view. The placement preview shows an enabled switch to update the approver status, with a reviewer selector when needed. After the stamped PDF saves, Specset records the response, fills an empty returned date, and updates the submittal's overall approval status based on its reviewers' responses.

Turn off the switch to place the stamp without changing a response. Stamps without a mapped status continue to work as before.
