- 02
Prepare connected files
Choose the project and folder, use an identifiable name and upload the file with its type and context. For drawings, confirm names and processing before distribution.
- 03
Complete the workflow in Perfour
Create the folder structure, upload documents or drawings, verify preview and share them with the right participants. Replacements and revisions should preserve a clear reference. Relationships keep each file beside the request or check it supports.

Review relationships and traceability
