Submittal Review

What it does

The Submittal Review page provides a detailed view of all submittals in your project, organized by CSI section. It has a two-panel layout: a submittal list on the left and a detail view on the right.

Left panel — Submittal List

  • Submittals are grouped by CSI section (e.g., Division 26 - Electrical). Click a section header to expand or collapse it.
  • Each submittal card shows a thumbnail preview, name, date, and author.
  • An amber alert icon appears if a submittal PDF has not been generated yet.
  • Use the search bar to filter submittals by name or author.
  • Click a submittal to select it and view its details in the right panel. Double-click to open the full Submittal Editor.

Right panel — Submittal Details

When a submittal is selected, the right panel shows four tabs:

  • Overview — read-only metadata: submittal number, status, trade, CSI section, description, manufacturer, and contractor information.
  • Products — a grid of all products included in the submittal, each with a thumbnail, name, manufacturer, and model badge. Click a product to open it in the Submittal Editor.
  • Versions — version history for the submittal (currently shows Version 1 with future version support planned).
  • Markups — annotations extracted from the submittal PDF (see "Extract Annotations" for details).

Header actions

  • Compare to Spec — compare submittal products against a specification document.
  • Create Template — configure the submittal PDF template (cover page, transmittal, product table).
  • Generate Report / View Report — create or view an AI-generated compliance report.
  • Download — download the submittal PDF.
  • Edit — navigate to the Submittals page to edit this submittal's metadata.
