How does Digs help me manage project documents?

Digs provides multiple flexible ways to store, organize, and access your documents—whether it's floor plans, specs, images, or permits. You can pin files directly to the blueprint, attach them to comments, or store them in structured folders, ensuring your team always knows where to find what they need.

What are my options for storing documents in Digs?

✅ 1. Attach Files to Comments

Use the 📎 attachment icon when writing a comment to upload files or images. These attachments:

• Stay linked to the specific comment

• Are easy to access later

• Keep context and documentation in one place

✅ 2. Upload Directly to the Blueprint

Drag and drop files directly onto the blueprint view. Digs will:

• Automatically store them in the correct location

• Associate them with the room or space where they were dropped

• Make them easy to retrieve and reference later

✅ 3. Organize with Folders & Subfolders

Want a more traditional file structure?

• Go to the Files tab

• Click “New Folder” to create public or private folders

• Use subfolders to categorize files (e.g., “Electrical”, “Permits”, “Interior Design”)

• Control access by choosing who can view or edit each folder

Why should I upload files into comments or folders?

Uploading documents into structured areas helps:

• Ensure critical information is easy to find

• Reduce miscommunication and file loss

• Keep project teams aligned and on task

• Save time and avoid costly delays

How can I keep sensitive files private?

When creating folders, you can set them to Private and choose which collaborators have access. You can also manage permissions on individual files and subfolders for more granular control.

What file types can I upload?

Digs supports a wide range of file types, including:

• PDFs

• Images (JPG, PNG)

• Documents (DOCX, XLSX)

• Other common construction file formats

Can I move or organize files after uploading?

Yes! You can:

• Move files between folders

• Rename folders and files

• Update access permissions

• Use the "Copy To" feature to replicate files or folders across projects

What’s the best way to stay organized in Digs?

• Use descriptive folder names (e.g., “Design Approvals – March”)

• Group related documents by category or trade

• Keep frequently referenced files pinned to relevant rooms or tasks

• Regularly review folder permissions

Build Smarter, Not Harder

Digs helps you stay organized, reduce back-and-forth, and focus more on building—not hunting for files.
