Changelog

Plan Set Comparison now opens the revised drawings with changes marked directly on the PDF. Revision clouds and numbered callouts put each change in context, with a searchable change list alongside the plans. Select a change to jump to its location and compare close-ups of the original and revised detail.

Use Download compiled PDF to take the marked-up set out of Specset. The export includes your annotation edits and the changes you choose to include, with an optional change-log cover that links to the revised sheets. Export the full comparison or select specific sheets, ready to share with your team.

Comparisons are also more accurate when drawings have been reorganized. On redrawn sheets, the agent compares individual details, schedules, and notes to separate content changes from layout shifts. It recognizes renumbered sheets and follows details that move to another sheet, reporting the move and any edits without counting the same detail as both removed and newly added.

See Plan Comparison for the review and export workflow.

Your team can now use Google Workspace or Okta alongside Microsoft Entra ID to sign in to Specset. Google Workspace setup is coordinated with Specset support. If you already have an account, the Google connection flow verifies your existing sign-in and asks you to confirm the link, keeping your projects and memberships together.

Passkeys let you sign in with your fingerprint, face, or device PIN when your organization allows them. Account Settings now separates Profile from Sign-in & security, where you can manage passkeys, your password, email verification, and recovery options. New password checks reject common or easily guessed choices, and sensitive changes ask you to verify your identity when needed.

In Org Settings → Security & SSO, administrators can make SSO optional or required, choose allowed sign-in methods, and require MFA or phishing-resistant MFA. Authentication, onboarding, and session-duration changes stay in a draft until you click Save. Specset checks that you can meet the proposed policy before applying it. Each organization's sign-in requirements still apply when you switch between teams.

See Single sign-on, Account security, and Organization security for setup and recovery instructions. Authenticator-app setup is not yet available; passkeys and qualifying SSO are the available routes for stronger authentication.

Field reporting now has a shared home in Specset. Daily Log keeps the day's notes, manpower, delays, weather, and photos together, while Photos provides a project-wide timeline and album library for every image.

Daily Log and the connected Photos workspace are currently in beta. Email support@specset.com to request access.

• Capture quickly. Type, dictate, or drop photos into Quick log. Specset files the entry into the right part of the day, and you can adjust the structured details at any time.
• Move from feed to report. Follow the chronological feed in the field, then switch to Report to review the day summary, manpower, work performed, delays, and photos. Export the finished record as a PDF.
• Find every photo again. Browse photos by day, week, or month, search and filter them, organize manual or smart albums, and select groups to download or archive.

Photos filed from a daily entry stay linked to that day. Open an image to review its details and tags, move through nearby photos, or return to the supporting log entry.

Read Daily logs and photos for the full workflow.

Skip the keyboard when speaking is faster. The new waveform button lets you dictate directly into a Specset composer.

Click Dictate, speak while the timer runs, then stop the recording. Specset transcribes your words and adds them to the text already in the composer. You can review, edit, and add context before anything is sent or filed.

Dictation is available in every project conversation and in the Daily Log quick entry where that tool is enabled. Your microphone is only active while the red recording timer is visible.

See Ask the project for the complete workflow and microphone-permission guidance.

Deep document sets are easier to move around now. The full folder structure sits in a rail on the left of the Documents tab, in both the card and list views, so you can see where everything lives while the files stay one level deep. Picking a folder shows just that folder's contents, and the tree stays put, so hopping from Electrical to Mechanical takes one click instead of backing out and drilling down again.

• One sort for both views. Sort by name, last updated, or date added. Name sorting understands leading numbers, so 01, 02 and 10 stay in the order you gave them. Folders stay pinned above documents by default, with counts in the section headers when a folder holds both, and your choice is remembered per project.
• Drag to file. Drag a document or folder onto any folder in the rail to move it there. Dragging files in from your computer still uploads them, and now drops them straight into the folder you aimed at.
• The path is in the breadcrumb. The folder trail lives in the page breadcrumb at the top, and the last crumb opens a list of neighboring folders so you can jump sideways without going up a level first.
• Works on a phone. Below tablet width the rail opens as a sheet from the toolbar, and picking a folder takes you there and closes it.

In the list view the tree also narrows the table to the selected folder, and double clicking a folder row drills into it. Everything stays in sync across views, so switching between cards and list keeps you in the same folder with the same order.

See Uploading documents for how documents get into a project in the first place.

Until now, review findings traveled as hoverable popups on each mark. That works in a viewer, but a flattened or printed package loses the hover, and the recipient sees marks with no visible comment. Turn on Show comments on the page and every issue also gets a red-pen style callout written on the sheet, with a leader arrow pointing at its mark.

Callouts are built to stay readable on real drawings:

• One note per issue per page. An issue with several highlights gets a single condensed callout, not a duplicate per mark.
• Whitespace-aware placement. Each callout is placed in nearby clear space, sized to the sheet. On dense pages the review skips a callout rather than stamp text over content, and busy pages are capped at a few callouts so the sheet never turns into red-text soup.
• Fully editable. Callouts are regular annotations in the Annotate & Download surface. Drag one to a better spot or delete it before the package goes out, and the change sticks.
• Popups stay. The callout carries the short correction; the complete finding remains in the annotation popup and the review record.

Enable it per project under Project Settings, Submittals, or flip the switch for a single review in the Annotate & Download sidebar, right next to the table of contents toggle. It works on existing reviews without re-reviewing; newly reviewed submittals get sharper, shorter callout text written for the sheet.

Submittal reviews check a package against hundreds of spec requirements, and a review that casts a net that wide will inevitably flag some things that turn out to be fine. Until now, sorting those out was your job. Every issue a review files is now re-checked by a second, independent AI before it enters your issue list.

The verifier goes back to the package and actively tries to disprove the finding. It searches the attachments for content the review called missing, checks the submittal register for a separate package that covers the deliverable, looks for an RFI or addendum that supersedes the requirement, and reads the governing spec section for or-equal language that already permits the submitted product.

Findings that do not survive are dismissed automatically with the reason recorded, so they never cost you a click. Open a dismissed issue and hover its AI rejected badge to read exactly what disproved the finding, with citations that jump straight to the submittal page or drawing schedule the verifier used. Nothing is hidden: rejected issues stay in the Dismissed list, and one click re-opens any of them if you disagree. Issues that survive carry an AI confirmed verdict on the issue itself, with the verification evidence a hover away.
