Connection Manager - Reuse

Background

Connectability for Drawings enables two separate Procore company accounts to connect their projects. The connection is one-way and copies published drawings from an upstream source project to a downstream connected project in an unpublished state. Connected drawing metadata is automatically kept in sync with the upstream project.

Publish Drawings for your Upstream Project

When projects are connected, any published drawings in your upstream project are automatically copied to the downstream project. Just follow the standard steps in your project to:

1. Upload Drawings
2. Review and Confirm Drawings
3. Publish Drawings

Publish Drawings for your Downstream Account

After the drawings are copied from the upstream project, they will have an "unpublished" status until they are published by the downstream project.

1. Navigate to the Drawings tool.

2. Click into the drawing set that contains the uploaded drawings.

3. Click the Publish drop-down menu in the banner above the list.

4. Click one of the following options:
   
   

   • Click Publish & Distribute to publish the drawings and send a notification to drawings register subscribers. See Who receives a notification for updates in the Drawing tool?

   • Click Publish to publish the drawings without sending a notification to drawings register subscribers.

Published connected drawings will be available to users with 'Read Only' level permissions or higher to the Drawings tool.
