Which file formats can be viewed without downloading?

The integrated viewer handles PDF files, engineering drawings, Microsoft Office documents, images and project forms directly in Wrench SmartProject, with no download needed. Stakeholders always see the latest revision, and files stay secure inside the system instead of circulating uncontrolled.

How are review comments tracked through to closure?

Every comment is tracked through a structured response workflow with a status of Open, Responded or Closed. Comment Resolution Sheets are generated automatically, giving full traceability for audits and contractual validation, so comments are no longer lost in email threads.

Can external reviewers comment offline?

Yes. A document can be securely checked out for external review and the annotated version checked back in afterwards. Workflow traceability and the audit trail are preserved throughout, so even offline reviews remain governed and controlled.

Does it support co-authoring of Office files?

Yes, through Microsoft OneDrive integration. Office files can be co-authored in real time, controlled check-out prevents parallel editing conflicts, and the version updates automatically on check-in with the full revision history retained.

Can review routing be sequential or parallel?

Yes. Review routing is configurable as sequential or parallel, with automated notifications and reminders keeping reviewers moving. Approvals and rejections are recorded digitally with comments, and every action is kept in a complete time-stamped audit trail.

Who can view, comment, edit or approve a document?

That is set by role-based permissions, which control who can view, comment, edit or approve sensitive project information. Time-stamped records then capture who viewed, commented, revised, approved or rejected each document.
