Why is collaboration so important in Digs?

Staying on time and on budget starts with clear, accurate communication. Digs enables blueprint-driven collaboration, ensuring that all ideas, decisions, and task assignments are recorded directly on the project—in context and in real time.

With every comment, task, and update tracked automatically, your team can stay aligned, avoid costly mistakes, and move faster.


How does communication work inside a project?

@ Mentions for Real-Time Collaboration

Want to loop someone in? Simply @ mention a team member in a comment to:

  • Ask a question

  • Notify them of a change

  • Assign a task

They’ll receive a real-time notification, helping ensure a fast response and forward momentum on the build. They will receive a real-time notification in their Notification Center and/or Email.


Can I attach files to a comment or discussion?

Yes! Add context to your messages by:

  1. Clicking the 📎 attachment icon in the comment box

  2. Selecting a photo, document, or file to upload
    This helps your team visually understand what needs attention—without jumping between tools.


Who gets notified, and when?

Any collaborator who is:

  • @ mentioned in a comment

  • Assigned a task
    ...will get a real-time notification so nothing falls through the cracks.


What does Digs automatically track?

Digs creates a record of every comment, attachment, decision, and assignment, including:

  • Who said what

  • When they said it

  • What they were referring to

  • Who completed the task

  • When the task was completed

  • Who resolved the comment

  • When the comment was resolved

  • Who edited a comment

  • When the comment was edited

This creates a clear audit trail and keeps everyone on the same page.


What are the benefits of collaborating in Digs?

  • Faster decision-making

  • Fewer missed details

  • Centralized record of all project communication

  • Reduced miscommunication between teams, clients, and subcontractors


Pro Tip: Use @ mentions alongside blueprint pinning and annotations to give your comments location-based context. It’s the fastest way to direct someone’s attention to exactly what you’re referencing.


Build smarter, together.

Digs keeps your team connected and aligned from kickoff to closeout. With clear, real-time communication and a complete record of every decision, collaboration becomes your competitive advantage.
