= Features =

In 2012, to enhance its utility, Revizto added an issue-tracking component inspired by Atlassian's Jira, and debuted at Autodesk University. Subsequently, it expanded its issue tracker and integrated 2D and 3D capabilities, recognizing the ongoing relevance of 2D for contractual documents.

In 2015, an automatic overlay feature for 3D models was added, which increased its usage and led to adoption by larger organizations.

Between 2017 and 2018, Revizto integrated point cloud support and pioneered its accessibility on mobile devices. It also introduced a caching feature, reducing dependency on bandwidth and increasing project accessibility on various devices.

In 2013, Revizto 1.2 was released.{{Cite web|url=http://www.architectmagazine.com/products/product-beat--digital-tools.aspx |title=Seven Digital Tools to Up Your Game |date=4 July 2013 |website=Architect Magazine}} This version included new features such as X-ray and transparent views, visibility filtering by object type, real-time chat, and an updated user interface. Improvements to navigation were also made, and onscreen cues with a help screen were added to enhance usability. The software's startup time with large models was reduced, compatibility with PCs was maintained, and the handling of files was extended to include both cloud and standalone options. Free applications for iPad and Android devices were also introduced by the developer.

In 2014, Revizto 3.0 was released, introducing features such as an integrated Issue Tracker with automatic reporting and Revit compatibility; scene merging in the Editor; AutoCAD integration; 2D Map and Ruler functions in the Viewer and Editor; a WebGL Viewer for web use; and the option to add a Watermark in the Viewer.{{Cite web |url=https://aecmag.com/news/news-new-look-revizto-3-0-unveiled/ |title=New look Revizto 3.0 unveiled|website=AEC Magazine}}

In 2016, a significant change marked the release of Revizto 4.0 as the Viewer became the main tool for project management, cloud synchronization, and team collaboration.{{Cite web|url=https://aecmag.com/news/news-revizto-gears-up-for-4-0-release/ |title=Revizto gears up for 4.0 release |date=11 May 2016 |website=AECMagazine}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.enr.com/articles/39793-software-bridges-design-and-construction |title=Software Bridges Design and Construction |first=Luke |last=Abaffy |website=ENR}} This version saw the Revizto Editor integrated into the Viewer for optional modifications. Non-3D projects now had the capacity to utilize issue tracking, import 2D PDFs, and annotate within these documents. Revizto 4.0 also brought with it scheduled export functions and improvements to the process of merging projects from different computers.

The 2020 release of Revizto 5.0 saw a shift in focus towards data-centric operations.{{Cite web|url=https://aecmag.com/bim/preview-revizto-5-0/ |title=Preview: Revizto 5.0 |first=Greg |last=Corke |date=10 September 2020 |website=AEC Magazine}} This version enabled users to track issues without relying on specific models. It incorporated features that facilitated integration with various data sources and laid the groundwork for potential in-built clash detection.
