Foundations and drawing lifecycle
Reviewing and confirming an uploaded drawing set
Review is where you turn processed PDF pages into clean, reliable drawing records. Nothing in this step is published to the wider project team.

Best for: Drawing administrators · Requires: A set in Needs Review and drawing-management access.
Open the review workspace
On the Drawing Sets page, find a set under Needs Review and select Review Drawing Set.
The workspace shows:
- A list of sheets
- The number confirmed out of the total
- A sheet preview
- Editable sheet details
- Search and navigation controls
By default, the list focuses on sheets that still need confirmation. Enable Show confirmed sheets if you need to revisit work you've already completed.
Review each sheet
For every page, verify:
- Sheet number
- Sheet title
- Sheet date
- Discipline
Constructable starts with the details it detected during processing. Correct anything that doesn't match the title block.
Valid changes save automatically after a short pause. A Saved indicator confirms the update. If a field has an error, correct it before moving on.
Example — ASI 3: If the revised plan is intended to replace A101, confirm its number using the same format as the existing drawing. A101 and A-101 may be treated as different identities.
Select Confirm and Next to confirm the current sheet and continue. On the last remaining sheet, select Confirm.
Use search and bulk confirmation
Search can filter the review list by sheet number, title, or discipline. This is useful when working through a large set or checking a related group of sheets.
Confirm All confirms every unconfirmed sheet that has no detected errors. Sheets with missing details or duplicate numbers remain in the queue for individual review.
Even when Confirm All is available, it is worth spot-checking the extracted data first. Confirmation establishes the sheet identity used for revision matching.
Handle disciplines efficiently
You can select an existing discipline or create one during review. If changing a discipline on a sheet with a common number prefix, Constructable may offer to update other unconfirmed sheets with the same prefix.
Use that shortcut only when the prefix is reliable for the set. Not every project follows the same numbering convention.
Remove an unwanted page
Use Delete Sheet when the PDF contains a cover page, blank page, duplicate, or other page that should not become a drawing.
After every sheet is confirmed, the set moves to Unpublished. Confirmation does not make it visible in the main Drawings page. The next step is Publishing and unpublishing drawings.
