Viewing and annotating files

Use the Document Viewer to view files that have been uploaded to Sage Construction Management. You can also add annotations to the files.

To view uploaded files, you must allow pop-us in your browser. See:

Important things to know

  • In order for a document to be viewed, it must be processed initially to allow for future annotations. This processing occurs when the file is initially uploaded.

  • Files up to 20MB can be opened directly in the Document Viewer. For files between 20MB and 50MB, a warning message will request confirmation to open the file in the Document Viewer. Files larger than 50MB cannot be opened in the Document Viewer and must be downloaded to view.

  • Annotations can be added in Sage Construction Management, the mobile apps and the TeamLink Portal.
  • Annotations applied to a file must be saved within 20 minutes of adding them. To save your changes:
    1. Select Save annotations.
    2. On the left-hand side, enter a name or description of the change.
    3. Select Save.
  • Users can edit or delete only their own annotations.
  • Search is available for certain file types. For example, an image with text that is saved in PDF format is not searchable. However, a Microsoft Word file that is saved in PDF format is searchable.
