Autodesk Docs is a cloud-based digital asset management platform that helps design and construction teams work smarter, not harder. As part of the Autodesk Construction Cloud, it gives teams a central space to store, organize, and manage project files, from BIM models to 2D drawings, all in one place.
The 2026 update brings a fresh batch of features and improvements aimed at making collaboration, issue tracking, and file management easier for everyone. Let’s dive into what’s new in Autodesk Docs 2026.
3D Issue markups just got smarter
If you’re working with 3D models, the enhanced 3D Issue Markups feature is a big win. You can now leave comments and mark up issues right on the 3D views. This helps your team understand exactly where a problem is and how to fix it, all without leaving the model environment.
Import PDF markups directly into AutoCAD
The new AutoCAD Markup Import is a huge time-saver. Now, you can bring PDF markups from Autodesk Docs directly into AutoCAD. No more re-entering feedback manually. It’s a simple way to streamline your workflow and make sure nothing gets missed.
A better connection from design to construction
Autodesk Docs 2026 makes the design-to-construction connection even stronger. Information moves more easily between design and field teams, which helps keep everyone on the same page. This reduces confusion and delays while improving collaboration across the board.
Better control and faster approvals
Managing who can see and edit documents is now more flexible thanks to improved document control features. Use structured folders and custom permissions to share information with the right people at the right time.
There’s also a new automated document approval system. It lets you set up review workflows so files get approved faster and more consistently, without the need for endless follow-up emails.
Mark up files with ease
Need to give feedback or highlight something important? Autodesk Docs now includes a full set of markup tools. You can draw, highlight, and comment directly on files, making communication between team members much clearer and quicker.
Keep track of issues in one place
The centralized issue tracking tool lets you manage all project issues from one list. Assign tasks, track progress, and keep your team accountable without jumping between platforms or spreadsheets.
Send and track transmittals easily
Creating and sharing transmittals is now more straightforward. You can send bundles of documents to team members and track every step with a built-in audit trail. It’s a great way to stay organized and compliant.
Work from Your Desktop with Desktop Connector
If you prefer working from your computer instead of the cloud, the Desktop Connector makes it possible. You can open, save, move, and organize files right from your desktop while keeping everything synced with Autodesk Docs.
Integration with AutoCAD, Revit, and Civil 3D
Autodesk Docs now works even better with your favorite Autodesk tools. Whether you’re using AutoCAD, Revit, or Civil 3D, this update makes it easier to manage files and coordinate work without needing to switch platforms. It helps reduce duplication and keeps data consistent.
Support for 2D and 3D Files
Whether you’re working with 2D plans or 3D models, Autodesk Docs has you covered. Teams can view and collaborate on both file types in one place, making it easy to stay aligned no matter what kind of project you’re handling.
Bridge: Share files across accounts
The Bridge feature lets you securely share data across different Autodesk accounts. This is perfect for projects involving multiple companies, like general contractors and subcontractors. It improves teamwork, reduces confusion, and keeps everyone in control of their own data.
Easier project setup and user management
Autodesk Docs 2026 offers a centralized admin experience. You can manage users, set permissions, create templates, and handle project settings all in one spot. This makes project setup faster and ensures consistency across teams.
Stay connected with mobile access
Field teams can now access Autodesk Docs through the Autodesk Build PlanGrid mobile app. That means they can check files, leave comments, and stay up to date from anywhere. It’s a simple way to keep office and field teams connected.
Seamless sync with BuildingConnected
With a new two-way sync between Autodesk Docs and BuildingConnected, managing files between bidding and building just got a lot easier. This integration helps maintain a single source of truth and keeps all your project documents organized.
Final Thoughts
The 2026 version of Autodesk Docs brings smarter tools and better integrations that make collaboration more efficient. From enhanced markups to automated approvals and improved syncing with design software, this release helps teams deliver projects faster and with fewer headaches.
If your team is looking to improve how you manage project documents and work together across design and construction phases, Autodesk Docs 2026 is a powerful upgrade worth exploring.
