• Reviews | Review Auto-Trigger Condition Improvements: Review auto-triggers now support additional conditions in Autodesk Docs, including review status, file type, and “is / is not empty” logic. This gives teams more control over when reviews start automatically, helping reduce manual effort and keep document workflows consistent.
• Reviews | Rename Closed Reviews: Project Admins can now rename Reviews after they are closed in Autodesk Docs. This makes it easier to standardize review titles and keep review data consistent across a project.
• Reviews | Allow Initiators to Update Approvers: Project Admins can allow review initiators to update approvers through workflow settings in Autodesk Docs. This gives teams flexibility to keep reviews moving while maintaining control over how workflows are managed.
• Reviews | Change Review Target Folder After the Review is Created: Review target folders can now be updated at any time. Project Admins control this through the review workflow and can also allow initiators to make changes, helping teams correct folder destinations without canceling or recreating reviews.
• Transmittals | Transmittal Public API GA: The Transmittal Public API is now generally available, allowing teams to retrieve transmittal information from Autodesk Docs through supported APIs in Autodesk Construction Cloud. This includes access to transmittals, related documents, file versions, and recipient details, supporting reporting, compliance, and integrations while keeping Docs as the system of record.
