In this article, you'll learn how to log in to Prostream and reset your password.

Log In

MFA adds an extra layer of security when you log in. This keeps your information safe, even if your password falls into the wrong hands.
You can set up MFA using an authenticator app or via email.

How to organize your project using folders, collection folders, document sets, and smart views.

Folder Structure

With smart views, you can create your own overviews of files you need often. This makes it easier to organize documents, quickly find relevant information, and collaborate on projects.

Smart Views

With document sets, you can create fixed collections of files or specific versions of those files. You can easily share a set with both Prostream users and people outside of Prostream. Lock a set to prevent further changes to its content. The log always shows you exactly what has happened to a set.

Document Sets

The collection folder is a temporary storage location where you can save files from various folders or search results. The files also remain in their original locations.
From the collection folder, you can perform multiple actions at once, such as viewing, sharing, or viewing together in the BIM viewer.

Collection Folder

To upload documents to Prostream, you must first create folders. There are two ways to do this: add a single folder or upload an entire folder structure at once.

Folders

Assign a unique color to folders so you can quickly identify them in the folder structure. The color is visible to all users with access to the folder.
By default, folders are yellow. You can set a unique color for each folder.

Set Folder Color

The categorized view groups documents by folder, allowing you to quickly keep track of everything when working with documents from multiple folders at the same time. Each folder group displays its own columns based on the configured metadata template.

Categorized view

Everything related to files: uploading, opening, editing, sharing, approving, version control, QR codes, and 3D models.

Files

In this article, you'll learn how to add files to Prostream

Upload Files

With ZIP upload, you can add multiple documents and folders at once by selecting a .zip file. Prostream uploads the ZIP file, extracts it on the server, and adds the contents to a new folder.

Bulk Upload

In this article, you'll learn how to open and edit files in Prostream. How you open a file depends on the file type.

Opening and Editing Files

In this article, you'll learn how to approve, reject, or freeze files.

The Recycle Bin temporarily stores deleted files before they are permanently deleted. This prevents important documents from being lost accidentally and makes it easy to recover files when needed.

Deleting and Restoring Files

In this article, you'll learn more about version control in Prostream

Version Control

By embedding a QR code in a document, you can immediately see whether you're working with the most recent version of that document.

Insert a QR code

When someone scans a QR code on a document, Prostream displays a page indicating whether it is the latest version. Is it the latest (approved) version? Then you’ll see a success page. Is it an older version? Then you’ll see an error page.

By default, Prostream uses a fixed image for each situation. You can customize these images to match the branding of your organization or project.

Messages & Notifications

Here you can read more about the message box and how it's structured.

Message Box

Messages let you quickly send updates to people within Prostream. You can send messages to both Prostream users and people without a Prostream account.

Create posts

Forwarding and Resending Messages

To avoid having to sign your message manually every time, add a signature through your profile. From now on, your signature will be automatically added to every message.

Add a signature

With project notifications, you, as the administrator, can set when project members receive notifications about new files in the project. Members can opt in or out of these notifications.

Notifications

Do you work with external project members, such as subcontractors or suppliers? If so, you can decide whether they can view document metadata in notification emails.

Hide Metadata in Notifications

Create tasks, track them in the task overview, and determine who has which task permissions.

Responsibilities

In "Tasks," you'll find all the tasks assigned to you. You can filter and group them by status, due date, type, or participant.

💡 Tip: Environment administrators can find all the project's tasks here.

Everything You Need to Know About Setting Up Metadata Templates and Fields at the Organizational and Project Levels

Metadata

Here's how to create metadata templates for your organization. You can use these templates on all projects created by your organization. They are automatically available in your projects.

Organization Metadata Template

In this article, you'll learn how to create metadata fields for your organization. You can reuse these fields in templates within your organization and in your projects.

Organization Metadata Fields

Do you work with subcontractors, suppliers, or other external parties? If so, you can configure each metadata field to determine whether it is visible to external users when they upload or edit documents.

Hide Metadata from External Users

Here's how to create project metadata templates. You can only use these templates within this project.

Project Metadata Template

In this article, you'll learn how to create project metadata fields. You can reuse these fields in templates within the project. These fields are not visible in other projects.

SCIM automates user identity management across various platforms. It synchronizes user data so that information remains up to date in all connected applications. When a user is added or removed in Azure Entra, the changes are automatically applied in Prostream.
Setting up users in Prostream consists of two steps: claiming domains and configuring user management via Azure Entra.

Set Up Single Sign-On

Integrate Prostream with other software such as Snagstream, STA, Solibri, and 12Build, or with your own systems via the API.

Integrations

Do you work in Prostream and then have to log in separately to another Pro4all product? That’s no longer necessary. With the app launcher, you can access all your Pro4all solutions directly from Prostream.


The Applause Launcher

With the Prostream integration API, you can connect your software to Prostream.

Prostream Integration API

In this article, you'll learn how to connect Snagstream to your organization and projects, and how to share files using Snagstream.

Snagstream

To share drawings and photos (PDF, JPEG, and PNG files) with STA, the organization must be connected to STA once. This can only be done by an administrator.
Once linked, Prostream uploads the selected files to the STA environment. If a file already exists in STA, you can choose to overwrite it. No other data is exchanged between STA and Prostream.

With the Solibri integration, you can open BIM models directly in Solibri from within Prostream. This allows you to modify models more quickly and upload new versions to Prostream. When you upload a new version in Prostream, it is also loaded immediately in Solibri.

Solibri

In this article, you'll learn how to connect 12Build to your organization and projects, and how to share files with 12Build.
