# Structural review, in one workspace

> Manage structural drawings, review submissions, and track corrections.

Trace brings structural construction administration into one workspace: project documents, shop drawing reviews, annotations and revision history.

> [card] [Document library](https://trace-review.mintlify.site/ca-library.md)
>
> Store drawings, bulletins, specifications and shop revisions. Review submissions against their sources and track previous comments.

> [card] [Drawing tools](https://trace-review.mintlify.site/markups.md)
>
> Compare submitted and working copies, annotate drawings, sketch details and measure calibrated pages.

## Structural review

A design reference records the engineer's requirements. A shop drawing records what the fabricator proposes to make or install. Trace compares the selected documents and surfaces potential discrepancies with page citations.

A structural example: the shop drawing shows four connection bolts where the design specifies six.

Follow [Your first structural review](https://trace-review.mintlify.site/quickstart.md), or try the [sample drawings](https://trace-review.mintlify.site/demo.md). Open each finding, inspect the cited pages, and record the engineer's decision.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Your account opens a private workspace. Review decisions are attributed to your signed-in account. Professional qualifications and engineering judgments remain the reviewer’s responsibility.

AI findings require engineer verification. Trace does not calculate structural capacity, certify compliance or independently approve fabrication. See [capabilities and limits](https://trace-review.mintlify.site/limits.md).
