How to Collaborate in the Cloud

Author: Simon Knibbs Time to read: minute minutes

Now that your project is complete, the next step is to share it with your colleagues for their valuable input and feedback. Additionally, if you plan on taking the project into production, you need a reliable way to track any changes that may occur over time. Luckily, EPLAN offers a comprehensive suite of user-friendly cloud-based tools that make project sharing, commenting, and reviewing a breeze. With these innovative features, collaborating with your team and staying updated on project modifications has never been easier.

EPLAN eVIEW

EPLAN eVIEW offers a seamless way to showcase EPLAN projects through a web browser. Effortlessly upload your project from the EPLAN platform and easily share it with your colleagues. Not only can they navigate through the project pages, but they can also experience the 3D cabinet view and even project it in augmented reality using EPLAN eVIEW AR on their devices. This innovative technology allows for a more immersive and interactive experience, making it easier to understand and communicate complex project designs.

The true power of eVIEW lies in its ability to facilitate online project collaboration. Leave comments directly on the pages or sketch out change requests. These annotations are then displayed to designers within the project itself, allowing them to respond, approve, reject, and send the information back to you in a streamlined manner. 


eMANAGE

Also within the EPLAN Cloud, you'll find the powerful EPLAN eMANAGE. Acting as a secure cloud repository for your EPLAN projects, eMANAGE ensures that every project made available for viewing in eVIEW has a backup of live data stored within its system. This feature eliminates the need for you to search for the latest released version, even after several years of device operation. With everything seamlessly connected within the EPLAN Cloud, you can easily find, review, and discuss your projects without any hassle. For more information on the eMANAGE application and its benefits, you can refer to this article or explore the master data in the cloud.
