# Record decisions and export

> Keep a clear record of what you checked, what changed, and what remains open.

## Choose a decision

| Status | Meaning | Action |
| - | - | - |
| **Open** | Awaiting reviewer assessment. | Inspect the cited evidence. |
| **Confirmed** | You verified the discrepancy. | Choose **Confirm finding**. It remains an open issue until resolved. |
| **Resolved** | You have evidence that the issue was addressed. | Choose **Mark resolved** and record the evidence. |
| **Dismissed** | The finding is incorrect or does not require action. | Choose **Dismiss with reason** and explain why. |

Closed findings can be reopened. Confirming a discrepancy does not approve the drawing for fabrication.

## Add useful notes

Use **Reviewer note** to record context, then **Save note**. A good note identifies the relevant revision, sheet, detail, and supporting clarification.

Example: “Checked S-101 revision A and SD-101 revision 01. C-04 shows four bolts; reference requires six. Request a corrected detail.”

Notes and decisions are saved with your signed-in account name and timestamp.

## Export the review

Choose **Export review** in the drawing workspace. The generated PDF includes the review report and submitted drawing pages. Drawing annotations are included where the finding has a location available.

The PDF opens in a new browser tab. Use the PDF viewer's download control to save and share it. If no tab opens, allow pop-ups for Trace and retry.

Exports also locate unique source quotes in PDF text and outline the submitted evidence in red. Scanned, ambiguous, or unmatched citations can have no annotation. Use the report's quotations and page references in those cases.

> Download the PDF before sharing. The temporary storage link expires. Anyone who receives the downloaded file can read its contents.

## Assign the engineer and record a stamp

Open **Package & stamp → Assignment** to set **Assigner (Architect)** and **Reviewer (Engineer)**. The signed-in name must match the assigned reviewer to record a checklist assessment or stamp. The account must be signed in to this workspace.

Under **Review stamp**, choose one of:

* **Approved**
* **Approved as noted**
* **Revise and resubmit**
* **Rejected**

Enter the review basis or conditions, acknowledge that you reviewed the package, then choose **Record stamp**. Approved requires all open/confirmed findings to be resolved or dismissed and all Needs information checks to be assessed. Other stamps can record required corrections or conditions.

AI never issues a stamp. The record represents the named engineer's manual decision and is not a professional seal. It appears on the report and each submitted PDF page. Review the export before distributing it, including the stamp's position on the drawing.

Changes to findings, notes, checklist assessments or assignments clear the current stamp. Earlier stamp records remain in **Stamp history**. Reopen and refresh the package if another person has changed it before you save.
