Accessing ProjectWise through the ProjectWise web application can be a quick way to access and upload project content. This does not require installing ProjectWise Explorer. However, it is important to note that there is not “Application Integration” via ProjectWise web. This means that drawing files cannot be opened in native CAD applications for example.
