No, I'm not talking about Zelda. I'm referring to the ability to link files to forms in Buzzsaw Professional. We had a release a while back that included this great enhancement and I wanted to make sure everyone knew about it and what it offered.
Previously you could attach a file to a form, but not link to a file that lived in the folder structure. What this meant was that a copy of the file was attached to the form and it was a reflection of where that file was at that moment in time. This works great for many situations, but others call for a more flexible option. This is where file linking comes in.
With links you have the option to associate a form to specific file. Essentially the form will include a pointer that directs the user back to where the file lives in the folder structure. This offers lots of advantages. For one, the user can follow the link to the file and then use the Buzzsaw viewing and markup tools to redline it. The redline is then saved in the normal Buzzsaw Markup tab. Additionally the link can point to either the most current version or a specific version of the file. This way if the file is updated with a new version, the link will automatically point to the new version.
As you can see there are situations where both links and attachments have their advantages...and now you have both options!
