The latest improvements to Rivet.

Choose how you hear about account and team activity

Signed-in web users can manage optional browser notification preferences from Account Center → Profile. Your browser controls notification permission; if its prompt does not appear or respond, Rivet now explains how to allow notifications in browser settings and try again.

These browser controls are part of the live web workspace. Native notification delivery for installed Android and Windows apps is not included in the Store versions currently listed above.

Find the work you need without changing shared data

• Search My Work, Team projects, plan sheets, takeoffs, estimate lines, inventory, saved assemblies, reusable rates, and proposal measurements.
• Sort takeoffs and estimate rows for review without rewriting their saved order.
• Large drawing sets and review summaries stay easier to navigate, with clearer progress and status as results finish updating.

Keep controls clear on touchscreens and keyboard

• Takeoff controls reflow more cleanly on narrow screens, with larger usable targets and fewer crowded labels.
• Dialogs and review workflows keep keyboard focus on the active controls and return it to the place you opened them from.
• Screen readers announce settled search results and review changes without repeating every keystroke.

Less rework, clearer quantities, easier estimating

This upgrade makes it easier to move from a drawing to an estimate you can check and explain. You have more control over measurements, more ways to reuse work, and a clearer view of what changes when a drawing is revised.

• Measure with more control. Use different scales within a sheet, enter exact dimensions, and adjust lines, shapes and deductions. Search your plans and return to saved views without finding your place again.
• Do repetitive work once. Reuse measurement settings and material, labour and equipment calculations. Combine measurements across sheets, repeat work by room or location, and keep individual exceptions.
• Make complex quantities easier to check. Work through room finishes, wall heights, doors, windows, roof pitch and spacing. Follow a total back to the drawing and calculations behind it.
• Stay in control of drawing changes. Compare revisions and review their effect on quantities and prices before applying changes. Keep a record of the drawings, figures and choices behind an issued estimate.
• Bring work in and share it clearly. Review Excel and CSV data before importing, bring in supported PDF annotations, and export marked plans with clearer measurement and scale information.

Upgrade with your workspace owner. Update your editing devices, finish drawing drafts, sync eligible changes and save a portable backup. In Cloud, choose Review Plan Workspace 2.0 upgrade. Review each offered Team approval and recipe calculation upgrade afterward. Original projects and plan files are retained, with recovery checkpoints if a stage is interrupted. Older clients cannot continue writing unsupported workspace data.

The current 1.9.5 releases listed above include the protected upgrade review. Recipe starter examples, snapping and revision comparisons still require the estimator’s review.

A workspace that fits your PC

Keep more of the drawing in view with compact sheet tools, clearer side panels and controls sized for a mouse. Estimate and Review now put the worksheet beside a separately scrolling cost panel, with aligned headings and more usable space on wide screens.

Rivet scrollbars, directional controls and subtle button gloss give the workspace a consistent finish. These refinements are live on the website and included in the published Windows and Android updates.

More drawing space on phones and tablets

Plans now groups tools into Measure, Scale, Markup and More. Open one group at a time, and return to the drawing automatically after choosing a measurement tool.

• Larger tap targets and wrapping actions prevent crowded text.
• The sheet selector, calibration warnings and active measurement controls stay reachable.
• Portrait and landscape layouts keep menus within their scrolling areas.

Read the updated Plans guide. Plan Workspace 2.0 requires the reviewed owner upgrade described above. The separately labelled practice copy remains local to this device.

Clearer trade symbols and checkout returns

Across all 45 trade sets, 312 symbols have refined artwork and 290 use source-linked drawing or schematic conventions. Items without a published convention retain clearly labeled estimating icons. Match every convention to the project legend.

The library separates plan conventions, schematic conventions, and estimating icons. Existing symbol IDs and takeoff quantities are preserved, including in marked plan PDFs.

Returning from Stripe checkout preserves the selected plan and monthly or annual billing. Billing instructions now point to account subscription management.

Keep project work and reviews together

Explore the team estimating workflow.

• Assign tasks, discuss changes, mention teammates, and request a review of a specific estimate revision with Team or Enterprise.
• Use My Work to find assigned tasks and reviews from projects synced to this device. The inbox keeps invitations and project updates together, with unread filters and notification preferences.
• Set your display name and profile photo. Solo and Trial accounts retain profile-only setup without team collaboration.
• Compare published revisions and review changes in quantities and costs before moving forward.

More room to estimate, clearer ways to recover

• Resize workspace panels for larger displays and ultrawide screens.
• Choose from 1,467 count symbols across 45 categories, with clean technical plan symbols, consistent line weights, smooth vector lettering, plan-view fixtures, and distinct painting and wallpaper details. All 57 painting, wallpaper, and wallcovering entries have distinct artwork. Search by trade or item, save favorites, adjust marker size and rotation, and include symbols with full names in marked plan PDF schedules. Larger library previews make each drawing easier to inspect.
• A compact, permanent markup toolbar fits the main tools, colour and undo/redo into one bar above the plan. Text, styling and extra actions open in a menu without reducing the drawing area, including while switching sheets. Choose from 26 annotation tools plus Select and Eraser: revision clouds, freehand clouds and highlights, shapes, arrows, labelled dimension arrows, text boxes, notes, callouts, underline, strikeout, check/cross marks, numbered markers, and 16 review stamps.
• Redesigned markup details include smooth, evenly spaced revision clouds, smoother freehand ink, attached boxed callouts, centred circular and revision labels, folded-corner notes, and crisp double-border review stamps. The same geometry and text alignment carry through to PDF exports.
• Select and move markups, adjust colour, opacity and line style, resize, rotate, duplicate, erase, or undo and redo changes. Long notes wrap in both the workspace and exported PDFs. Show or hide the review layer and choose whether to include it in the PDF. Markups save with the sheet and retain their author and creation time. Dimension-arrow labels are entered manually; calibrated takeoff tools handle measured quantities.
• Download retained pre-restore copies from Settings, including after later edits. Removing a copy requires confirmation that you saved its export.
• Follow the updated User Guide for profiles, collaboration, notifications, symbols, and estimating workflows.

The symbol library and compact markup tools are available in the current 1.9.5 store apps. The latest technical artwork and refined markup details are live on web. See the platform availability section above for the verified status of Windows and Android updates.

Group related measurements into one named takeoff

• Select two or more compatible rows in Takeoffs and choose Group selected. Name the scope you want to price together, such as LVT flooring.
• Measurements must share a unit, plan sheet, and revision. Expand the group to review and edit each measurement, including its scale, colours, notes, and source links.
• Add compatible rows by combining them with an existing group. Groups are created only when you choose them.
• Group before linking takeoffs to an estimate. Ungroup preserves eligible measurements, but existing estimate links and cutout deductions can prevent ungrouping. Undo and Redo retain these protections.

Available in Rivet 1.9.5 on web and in the current Windows and Android store apps. Update through the store you installed from to receive these controls.

Clearer save status and stronger recovery tools

• Save and Cloud status show edits waiting to be saved locally as well as changes waiting to upload.
• Emergency export can preserve the current workspace when normal saving is blocked and identifies unverified saves or unavailable plan files. Keep a verified backup as your main recovery copy.
• The browser keeps recovery copies of recent edits for the correct account without replacing newer saved work.
• Check a second known dimension and save the result with its sheet and revision. A discrepancy above 1% prevents the check from passing. This check does not guarantee drawing accuracy.
• Measured quantities now round consistently, including 16.045 to 16.05, while the original measurement keeps its full precision.
• Plan previews now report loading and missing files correctly when switching sheets. Measurement tools wait for the current preview; navigation and draft cancellation remain available.
• Confirm detected scale and Calibrate have clearer labels. Use Calibrate to check two points against a printed dimension.
• Fixed Cloud access for estimator and reviewer roles. The first-project guide also stays available until you save a takeoff.
• Google Play subscriptions open in Google Play for management. Paid access appears after payment confirmation.

These improvements are included in the current 1.9.5 web and store releases. Install store updates to receive native app changes; older direct Android 1.9.3 installations do not include them.

Reuse measurement colours

• Choose from six consistent presets—blue, orange, green, purple, gold, and red—or use a custom colour. A checkmark shows the active choice.
• Available on web and in the current Windows store app. These presets are not included in the native Android app.

A clearer website

• A consistent dark design, larger text, and clearer navigation make product information, pricing, guides, downloads, and support easier to find.
• Workspace screenshots show the steps from plan calibration to proposal, with a closer look at Plan Pro curve tools.

See whether automatic sync is running

• The header distinguishes Local only, Auto on, Auto off, Sync paused, and Read-only, with a count of changes waiting to upload.
• Your automatic-sync choice is preserved. New or incomplete settings default to saving locally.
• The current 1.9.5 web, Windows and Google Play releases include the save-status and recovery tools. Platform availability and the published mobile workspace updates are listed above.

More precise point placement

• A smaller crosshair and centre dot show the point that will be saved, including snapping and orthogonal alignment.
• Compact, transparent point markers keep the drawing visible. Selection highlights and exported PDF lines are also easier to read.
• Available on web and in the current Windows store app.

Curves now follow the shape you define

• Use three shape points for a circular arc, or 4–64 control points for a freeform curve or curved wall.
• Lengths use the sheet's calibrated scale; curved-wall quantities also use the entered height. Recalibrating the sheet updates the results.
• Create curves on web and in the current Windows store app. Android can open, review, edit, and sync the resulting Linear or Wall measurements, but does not include curve-creation controls.
