ProjectWise Explorer Help

Sending Email Messages with Documents or Links Attached

You can send email messages with ProjectWise documents attached, or you can send email messages containing links to ProjectWise documents. When you send a link to a user who also has a compatible version of ProjectWise Explorer installed, clicking on that link will launch ProjectWise Explorer and navigate to and select the appropriate document.
