Review a Document in a Workflow in the Document Management Tool

Regional Availability

The Document Management tool is available to accounts in the following countries: United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. It is not yet available for Procore accounts in the U.S. To learn more, please reach out to your Procore point of contact.

Beta

A new Packages feature is now available for the Document Management tool, allowing project teams to group, track, and sequentially review related documents and placeholders in a dedicated workspace. Learn more about this open beta and how your Procore point of contact can help your team enable it.

Background

If you've been assigned to review a document as part of a workflow, you can view the document, access options such as markups, and enter your response. See Respond to a Custom Workflow. For more information about workflows in the Document Management tool, see About Workflows in the Document Management Tool.

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions:

  • Additional Information:

    • All users with permission to view a document can view that document, whether it has a workflow associated with it or not. However, only people who have been assigned to a step in the workflow will see the Workflow panel.

    • Bulk Workflow Responses: To submit a single response for multiple documents at once (from the Documents tab or a Package Items table), all selected documents must:

      • Use the exact same workflow template.

      • Be on the exact same active step in the workflow template.

      • Have your user account assigned as a current responder on that step.
        (If any of these conditions are not met, the bulk response option will be disabled.)
