Document Viewer & Edit Mode Overview - Web

When you open a document in Aproplan, it is displayed in the Document Viewer, where you can view the document and interact with all information shown on top of it, such as points and forms. The same viewer is used regardless of where the document is opened from, though available actions may vary depending on your permissions and the context.

Open a point and click on the thumbnail to view the document:

In the Document Viewer, you can navigate through the document, search, filter points and forms, switch between document versions (if available), download the document, and when permitted, add annotations or other information directly on the document.
