Migrating projects from Revizto 4 to Revizto 5 Follow
If you have an ongoing Revizto 4 project and you want to take advantage of new Revizto 5 features, migrate the project to Revizto 5 format. This option is available to license administrators and project administrators with Content creator license role.
During the migration, a new Revizto 5 project is created. You can choose to archive the old Revizto 4 project to prevent accidental access to it.
The migration has the following limitations:
- Scenes are not migrated (the "3D" section of Revizto application will be empty after the migration). You have to re-export the scenes after the migration.
- Viewpoints are not migrated. You can migrate them manually.
- Only the latest versions of sheets are migrated.
- Procore RFI integration: migrated issues do not retain their connections to Procore RFI module. You have to reattach them to RFIs manually. You cannot attach issues to closed RFIs.
- Settings for exporting data from third-party software to Revizto will require revision.

Migrating projects to Revizto 5
To migrate a project to Revizto 5:
-
If your project includes scenes that are no longer available in the authoring tools, export them to .ifc files.
-
Run Revizto 5 on a computer with Microsoft Windows.
-
In the project filter, select Revizto 4.
This opens the list of your Revizto 4 projects.
-
Double-click a project that you want to migrate.
-
If you want to archive the Revizto 4 project, select the Archive V4 project after the migration is completed… checkbox.
-
Read the disclaimer carefully, and then select the I have read the above disclaimer… checkbox.
-
Click Migrate project to v5 and wait until the migration is completed.
-
Export the scenes to your project.
If you encounter any issues in the new Revizto project, submit a support request. Meanwhile, to avoid project downtime, you can archive the new Revizto 5 project and revert to the old Revizto 4 project. If you archived the old project, restore it.

Migration FAQ
Q: Will the issue IDs remain the same after the migration?
A: Yes, the issue IDs will remain the same.
Note that project migration is the only way to preserve issue IDs. Other ways of moving project data from Revizto 4 to Revizto 5 (such as migrating a project copy or importing issues to a new project) might change issue IDs.
Q: The sheet version history is not migrated. Is there any way to view it after the migration?
A: You can view the sheet version history in the archived Revizto 4 project. If the project is archived, we recommend that you ask the project owner to do it, as they can access the project without restoring it from an archive.
Q: Is there any way to migrate viewpoints?
A: You can migrate viewpoints manually.
To migrate viewpoints from Revizto 4 to Revizto 5:
- Before migrating the project, in Revizto 4, open the source project and create a "VT" (viewpoint transfer) stamp template.
- Use this template to place a "VT" stamp in each viewpoint that you want to migrate.
- Migrate the project.
- In Revizto 5, open the destination project, cycle through the "VT" issues, and save each viewpoint.
- Delete the "VT" issues.
If you have not created the issues before migrating the project, you still can migrate the viewpoints. Replace step 3 of the procedure with the following:
- In Revizto 4, export the "VT" issues.
- In Revizto 5, open the destination project and import the issues.
