SiteBox - How do I save a PDF directly to my project?

This article explains how you can save PDFs directly on SiteAssist for your project.

You can save PDFs directly onto SiteAssist via Sitebox. These documents must be saved to your project and can then be used as a proof for any permits or checklists by anyone who can raise them for your project.

Note: PDFs can only be uploaded to a project by a Project Admin and any documents that are used from SiteBox as a proof for a permit or checklist cannot be annotatedđŸ€”đŸŒ


Adding a PDF to a project on the web app


To save a PDF on the SiteAssist web application, You first need to log into SiteAssist and then you must:

1a. Click 'Projects'

1b. Click the Project you wish to add a PDf to

2. Click 'SiteBox' in the project menu

3a. Click 'New'

3b. Specify if you wish to create a folder for your files or if you wish to upload a file. If you select upload file, you will then need to find the file on your laptop, desktop or Mac.

You can also perform certain actions on an existing folder or a file that has been uploaded.

4a. Click the 3-dots next to the corresponding file or folder

4b. You will then see a list of options available to you based on if you selected a file or a folder.

Below are the options available for a file:

  • Rename: This allows you to rename the selected file

  • Copy Link: This allows you to copy a link to this file. Keep in mind, that only people with access to your project will be able to view this file.
