As of 25th March 2026, Autodesk have also added 2 new products to the Autodesk Forma portfolio:
Forma Data Management Essentials:
Forma Data Management Essentials is a new feature limited version of Forma Data Management (formerly Autodesk Docs) that provides cloud-based project data management directly connected to eligible Autodesk desktop design tools. Included with standalone subscriptions of AutoCAD, Revit, and Civil 3D, it gives teams a centralized, cloud-connected environment to organize, view, and share project information. Through built-in desktop integrations, teams can collaborate more easily and keep project data connected as work progresses.
Forma Build Essentials
Forma Build Essentials is a new document management system focussed on connecting the office and field. This is a lighter version of Forma Build (formerly Autodesk Build). It improve field and project management workflows by allowing teams to view files,, manage issues and centralise all communication. It’s designed specifically for small contractors. Please see the table below for a comparison of its features against Forma Build.
Frequently Asked Questions
The Forma industry cloud is Autodesk’s AI-native platform for the AECO industry that connects all stakeholders, fragmented workflows, and data into a single, insight-driven environment. This helps support more informed decision-making across planning, design, construction and operations.
No, Forma is not ACC. Rather, Autodesk are expanding the Forma industry cloud by adding the capabilities of ACC to it. ACC products will be represented as part of the Forma industry cloud brand. In fact, ACC’s enterprise, controls, infrastructure and user management will now extend across all of Forma. By bringing ACC into Forma, Autodesk are creating a single, connected industry cloud for AECO.
No. Current product roadmaps will continue to be delivered as planned. In fact, joining the Forma industry cloud provides more scale and accelerates development. For you, that should mean a more seamless experience and accelerate delivery of new tools designed to help you work smarter.
No, there will be no disruption to how existing customers access or use ACC products. Licensing, subscriptions, files, permissions, folder structures, and current connections to other ACC products like BuildingConnected will remain intact. Additionally, any automations, integrations or APIs currently in place will not be affected. And, importantly, there will be no data migration required for current ACC or Forma customers.
A single, common data environment and platform across AECO will enable improved data flow across the project lifecycle and introduce more AI-native workflows.
Outside of branding, we do not expect any changes to the mobile app. Functional updates will continue to be released as previously planned in accordance to our roadmap, ensuring ongoing improvements without disruption to the user experience.
The core functionality and layout of the ACC user interface will remain consistent, ensuring a smooth experience for existing users. There will be new Forma branding introduced and we will continue to deliver updates to the user experience as part of ongoing improvements to the product.
Autodesk Docs is evolving to better represent its role within the Forma industry cloud. A purpose-built, cloud-native common data environment (CDE) connecting AECO project data across the full asset lifecycle – planning, design, construction, and operations. To reflect this evolution, Autodesk Docs will be renamed Forma Data Management. The new name signals a move beyond file-based collaboration toward connected project data, supporting both files and more granular data as the AECO industry advances toward more hyper-collaborative, data-driven workflows.
The brand update to Power BI is targeted for the week of April 6, aligning with Microsoft’s release schedule. This is a visual change only and your ability to use the Power BI connector will remain intact.
