Drawings and Viewer

PlanSync’s drawing system combines file storage, versioning, and viewer collaboration.

File and folder management

  • Create folder structures in each project
  • Upload files with version-aware workflows
  • Rename and reorganize folders/files
  • Remove outdated files safely

Viewer capabilities

  • Open project files in-browser
  • Navigate sheet versions
  • Save/restore viewer state
  • Lock file versions for controlled editing periods

Collaboration

For workspaces with collaboration enabled:
  • Presence and heartbeat APIs keep active viewer sessions visible
  • Event streams support real-time viewer updates
  • Sessions can be explicitly ended/left

Public/free viewer

PlanSync also includes a standalone viewer experience for non-workspace usage. This is separate from authenticated project data.

Storage guidance

Upload and read access is handled through presigned URL flows. Keep object store credentials in your backend environment only.
