Backing up your Bluebeam Studio data is vital to keep all your Bluebeam Studio files safe and secure. This step-by-step guide will help you explore how to back up your Studio Session and Project Data. Let’s discuss this in detail.
Backing up Studio Session Data
To back up your Studio Session Data:
Join the Session
Step 1 – Open Bluebeam Revu and sign in to Bluebeam Studio.
Step 2 – Go to the Studio panel > Select the Sessions tab and join the session you want to back up.
To back up session files, you need to finish the session. Make sure that no one else is currently active in the session before finishing.
Finish the Session
Step 1 – Click on the <Session Name (ID)>. For instance, “BG Floor Plan (705-942-702)”. Then, select “Finish Session” from the drop-down menu.
Step 2 – The Finish Session dialog box will appear like the one below.
- To include markups made by specific attendees, select their names under the Include Markups
(Any markups included on a Session PDF can’t be altered once reuploaded to a new Session).
- Under the Save Options section, click Save to overwrite the existing session files.
- Alternatively, select Save In Folder. It will save the Session files in a specified folder, ensuring the original files must not overwrite.
- To change the default folder location, click the browse icon (…) and select a destination to save your session files.
- You can also create Session Subfolder to save your session in the subfolder at the specified location.
- Select Close files after finishing to automatically close any Session files that are currently open in Revu.
- If you’d like to generate a report for the Session, checkmark the Generate Report
Once you set your preferred saving options, click “OK” to finish and back up your Session.
You can now access and view your saved Session Report with all session attendees and their activities with timestamps like the one below.

Select the Files to Download
Step 1 – You can download the entire project by right-clicking on the root Project folder, a subfolder within the Project, or an individual file. Then, click the “Download Copy” option from the drop-down menu.

Key Points to Remember
- When downloading a Project folder (subfolder), all its contents (including subfolders) and files will be downloaded automatically.
- When downloading the root Project folder, it means all Project folders and documents are downloaded.
- If any folder permissions are set to Hidden, the folder(s) won’t download even if they are contained within the folder or Project you are downloading.
- Ask your project owner to assign permission to download the folder or project.
