Jump to releases by product:
Autodesk Construction Cloud Unified Platform
*=features on both Autodesk Construction Cloud unified platform and BIM 360
Bridge
Bridge in Autodesk Construction Cloud allows teams to share data across accounts, like a general contractor to a subcontractor, in order to improve cross team collaboration, reduce rework, and improve control and ownership of project information. Last year, we released the ability to share Sheets across accounts or between projects within the same accounts. With this most recent release, users are now able to also share Files as well as set up direct links to projects for easier data federation. Learn more about Bridge here.
Files | For the Field Folder Migration
Web users now have the option to migrate their “For the Field” folders under “Project Files.” From there, they can perform regular folder operations, such as rename the folders, move them within the folder tree, assign any permissions, and delete folders. Customers can also perform this migration on the folder structure for Project Templates. This allows members to curate their experience more efficiently.
Files | Export Markups on Files (PDF)
After selecting a PDF file to export markups onto, members on web now see two options when choosing to export markups onto a PDF file: “Single selection” and “Standard markups and hyperlinks”.
Files | Minimap (web)
2D minimaps are available while navigating any 3D model that has been previously aligned. This allows users to orient themselves in 3D, more easily navigate complex models, and quickly jump into associated 2D representations of their model.
Files | User Group Changes
The “Everyone” user group, which allows everyone on a project to assign folder permission, is now assignable to any folder and with any folder permission level. Previously, it could only be used by the “For the Field” folder with the permissioned actions of “View” and “View + Download.” Now, members have the option to allow everyone on the project to have permission to specified folders.
Markups | Undo / Redo
Members can undo and redo single markup interactions on a sheet (on all platforms) or document (on web). This update does not include feature markups.
Transmittal | Add “Description” Column to Transmittal Details*
Available on Autodesk Construction Cloud and BIM 360, a new “Description” column will be added to the Transmittal detail page. The value within the “Description” column highlights key information at the time of transmitting but will remain empty for transmittals created before this release.
Dashboards | Additional Partner Cards*
Both Autodesk Construction Cloud and BIM 360 have added partner cards to the Card Library including SignOnSite, Billd, AnchoRock, Touchplan, eMOD, what3words, Tenna, Document Crunch, and Tread.
Integrations | Partner Summit
Autodesk Construction Cloud now has over 215 integration partners. We recently hosted our Integration Partner Summit 2022 to share new resources and program enhancements with partners, helping them build deeper and more meaningful integrations. Autodesk Construction Cloud is doubling down on our commitment to remove data silos in construction and deliver a robust ecosystem of engaged partners ready to drive success with our customers.
Autodesk Build
*=features in both Autodesk Build and BIM 360

Cost Management | Account Level Cost Management Library Templates
Autodesk Build users can now manage cost management templates at the account level within the Library. This allows teams to quickly distribute updated document templates across all projects, saving time and ensuring teams have access to the most up-to-date templates.
Cost Management | Executive Level Cross Project Budget Report – coming soon
Within account level Insight, users with Executive Overview access can now run a Cost Management Budget report which shows a summary of cost information by project including original budget, revised budget, projected budget, forecasts, and more. This is the first account level report within Autodesk Construction Cloud and allows users to filter outputs including project type or business unit. The report gives executives a quick overview of relevant cross project information.
Cost Management | Project Configuration Wizard*
Autodesk Build and BIM 360 Cost Management admins now have access to a project configuration wizard called Project Process. This optional setting provides a more straightforward setup process for different user cohorts. Based on the selected role and project preferences in this setting, it configures what components in Cost Management display and configures permission options.
Cost Management | Collaborative Potential Change Order Workflow*
Autodesk Build and BIM 360 Cost Management now provides an optional collaborative potential change order workflow for upstream and downstream change orders as part of the new Project Process setting. This release offers streamlined change order collaboration between owners and general contractors or general contractors and subcontractors in a single environment that fosters accountability and transparency.
Cost Management | Main Contract Collaborate Permission*
A new collaborative permission level for the main contract is available in Autodesk Build and BIM 360 Cost Management to increase transparency with owners. With this permission, owners can view details related to their signed contract directly in the system and upload attachments.
Cost Management | Viewpoint Vista Integration*
Autodesk Build and BIM 360 Cost Management can now integrate with Viewpoint Vista through Morpheus Technology Group. By synchronizing critical financial data, teams can reduce the risk of error and streamline processes.
Files | Gyroscope (mobile)
Members can leverage the mobile device’s built-in gyroscope to experience an immersive interaction with their models while in the field. This “look-around” feature brings a more dynamic and visual approach to modeling.
Files | Levels Navigation (mobile)
Members can utilize the up/down arrows to easily navigate between levels within their model, simplifying the model viewing experience for field teams.
Files | Minimap (mobile)
Similar to the web functionality, members on mobile can now see a 2D map of their model while they navigate in 3D, if the model has been previously aligned.. This 2D minimap will appear at the top of their phone screen. Also, members can move the blue dot on the 2D model to adjust their viewing on the 3D model.
Forms | Company and Role Permissions – coming soon
Users will soon be able to set permissions to Form templates to a Company or a Role and then assign collaborative forms to a specific Company or Role. This provides flexibility and ensures that Forms get filled out in a timely manner.
Meetings | Edit Meetings (mobile)
Autodesk Build users can edit general meeting information on their mobile device. They can also add flags, define due dates and change the status of each meeting item. This allows users to collaborate on meetings in the field or office.
RFIs | Assign RFI to a Location
Users can add a location to their RFI. This provides critical context and creates consistency across the project.
Sheets | Export Links with Markups and Auto-callouts
Members on web can now see two new checkboxes, “Include Hyperlinks” and “Include Auto-callouts” on the sheet export configuration panel. From there, exported PDFs highlight any linked markups to simplify the process of accessing needed information.
Submittals | Watchers Enhancements
With watcher enhancements, users can add watchers when creating a submittal item, will see the default watcher, and have ability to bulk add watchers. This increases accessibility and creates transparency for all necessary stakeholders.
Submittals | Cover Pages
Users will soon be able to add cover pages to submittal attachments. Users can add a blank page, upload their preferred cover page, or leverage the built-in cover page that has all relevant submittal information. Once the cover pages are created, users can annotate and add their own stamps. This summarizes critical information and helps members comply with contractual requirements.
Submittals | Status Summary Report
User can create a new report highlighting the status of submittal items. The Status Summary report will summarize the status of submittal items by company. This makes it easy for each company to track their submittal status
Schedule | Add References in iOS
Users can now link references to schedule activities in iOS such as Photos, Files, Sheets, Assets, and Issues to provide the necessary context into what can impact the schedule.
Schedule | View Schedule in Android – coming soon
