  1. Upload the revised drawing as Shop drawings / submittal, with its new revision label.
  2. Create a New review using the governing design reference and the revised submission.
  3. Select the earlier submission in Previous submission when relevant.
  4. Run the AI review and inspect its findings and coverage.
Existing findings may be supplied as context when Trace finds a prior review for the selected previous submission. Verify any claimed continuity against the actual drawing revisions.

​
Revision evidence and reviewer decisions

Revision labels describe what changed between drawings: These labels are separate from your Open, Confirmed, Resolved, or Dismissed decision. Verify the correction before recording a resolution. Open Revision log to inspect revision-related findings for the selected review and the workspace activity history. Select a finding to return to its drawing evidence.

​
Keep document history separate

Use Previous shop drawing during upload to link each revised PDF to its earlier version. This preserves the original bytes and citations independently of any review. Expand a document family in Document library to open saved shop revisions. See Projects and revision history.

October 20: document types and comment continuity

Revision chains apply to shop drawings. Structural drawing changes are linked bulletins or sketches with issue identifiers and applicability. See CA document library. When a resubmission is linked to its previous shop PDF, Trace requires that parent in the next review. AI returns an assessment for every prior non-dismissed comment, including engineer notes. Open Previous comments in the drawing workspace and verify each assessment. Approved requires all previous comments to be verified as Addressed or Not applicable, alongside the existing finding/check gates. Earlier reviews retain their decisions.
