Introduction

Viewsoft allows you to do more than just view documents—it enables real-time collaboration for project stakeholders. Our annotation tools make it easy for site teams, inspectors, and designers to add notes, draw shapes, and coordinate on technical details directly on the canvas.

Whether you are conducting a site walkthrough or a design review, your host application can trigger these tools instantly through a reliable bridge.

The annotation system is divided into functional areas to handle diverse enterprise workflows.
