February 2026

This month you'll find a new way to manage document reviews and coordinate comments, an integrated ITP workflow to mitigate risk and ensure quality work, an easy way to track safety and reduce hazards, and reality capture in Models.

This release is for:
  • Project teams who manage deliverables and need an easier way to track and manage reviewer comments.  
  • Quality managers who use ITPs to deliver high-quality projects efficiently and safely.
  • Model coordinators who want to view point cloud files together with their models.
  • Site managers who track safety to reduce hazards and injuries on the jobsite.
  • Document controllers who need to export large reports.
  • Reviewers who asked to automatically flatten markups after a workflow.
  • Package admins who send high volumes of packages.
  • Mail approvers with lots of mail to approve.

Document Processes

What's new

Streamlined reviews with powerful comment management

  • Document Processes helps you manage document reviews and track comments across organizations, in real time.
  • Start reviews across multiple disciplines in a single action. Documents are automatically routed to reviewers based on each document's metadata. 
  • A built in QA step ensures the document is checked before reviewers can begin their review.
  • Reviewers can pin review issues to drawings to add their comments and markups. They can also reply to comments from other reviewers.
  • A dedicated register for comment tracking allows organizations to track, collaborate, and resolve review issues.
  • Using the Review Matrix, see your review rules at a glance and perform bulk updates in a few clicks.
  • All document metadata and project fields are included as searchable fields to help you track reviews easily.
  • With Document Processes metadata also available in Packages, you can view the progress of each deliverable in the context of the package, along with review outcomes and issues.
  • Learn more about Document Processes

Note: Document Processes is disabled on all projects by default. A Project Admin can enable it from Module Management.
 

Improvements and fixes

Choose your view in the Review Matrix

  • By default, the Review Matrix will now display your rules as a visual flow. This makes it easier for users new to Document Processes to understand the flow for each rule.
  • Advanced users who are more familiar with the grid layout can switch to the grid view with a click, where it's easy to update rules in bulk.

Attach files to review issues

  • You can now attach up to 20 files when raising an issue during a review.
  • This helps you provide additional information to other reviews about the issue.

Review a document from a transmittal

  • You can now click through to a review step from a transmittal. 
  • This saves you time from having to manually lookup the review step.

Save a rule to draft

  • If you've started creating a rule but not ready to make it live, you can now save it as a draft.
  • This means you no longer have to start over if you don't yet have all the required information to complete the rule details.

Field

What's new

Deliver high-quality projects without costly mistakes

  • Test Plans is the new feature in Field to help you manage Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs) on your project.

  • Ensure all organizations on the project understand the expectations of a piece of work and their responsibilities.
  • Ensure work meets the required standards and evidence is well documented.  
  • Monitor progress for each piece of work. See who is holding up progress, and take the necessary corrective action.
  • Mitigate risk and ensure quality work is being done, saving time and money.

  • Capture positive observations to document good safety practices.
  • Export your observations to PDF for further analysis.
  • Also available in Oracle Aconex Mobile so you can work with Observations on the go.

Improvements and fixes

  • Your list of test plans can now be filtered by an area (and its subareas).

Add descriptions to any issue attachments

  • You can now add a description to any files (including images) you attach to an issue.
  • We've also updated the label from Comment to Description to clarify its purpose.

Enhance your issues report

  • Issues exported to PDF now provide up to 25 high resolution images to help you see important details.

  • When opening a model from the Document Register, the snapshot of the model now displays correctly.

Documents

Improvements and fixes

View models from the Document Register

If you manage your project in both Aconex and Primavera Unifier, we've saved you some time.

Note: This feature is currently only available to projects on the KSA1 instance. We'll continue to develop the feature based on feedback and announce availability for other Aconex instances at a later date.

  • To save time and reduce errors, you can now start the business process automatically from an Aconex mail, including all details and attachments.
  • You can start a business process from any mail that your organization has sent or received. 
  • You'll need to have the Start Unifier Business Process permission granted to your user role to perform this action.
  • Your project in Aconex and Unifier (Multi-tenant) must be linked in the Lobby. 
  • Learn more about creating a business process in Unifier

Viewer

What's new

Automated flattening of markups

  • Thanks to your feedback you can now configure workflow templates to automatically flatten annotations and/or stamps at the end of a review.

  • By default, flattening is disabled for each workflow template, allowing you to specify which templates to enable it on.

    Note: This update will initially be available to the CA1 and EU1 instances, with plans to rollout to other instances over the coming weeks.

Changes to markup styles and presets

Lobby

Improvements and fixes
