“The Change Notification feature is easily one of my favorites. I previously had to rely on email to share design updates, pricing documents and deadlines, which resulted in mile-long email threads. Clearstory eliminates that confusion.”

as possible.
Distribute design changes

Enforce pricing deadlines
Clearstory makes communicating and enforcing pricing deadlines a breeze by showing which Subs were sent the changes and who has viewed the files. Easily send email reminders with just one click to any Sub who hasn’t responded.

Still have questions? We’ve got answers.
What is a Change Notification?
Change Notifications are the easiest way to distribute design changes to your Subcontractors and confirm if there are cost impacts.
How much training is required for my Subcontractors?
Zero. When you send a Change Notification in Clearstory, we send an email to each of your Subcontractors. This gives them details, including the deadline, a link to the files and a step-by-step guide on how to respond. It is ridiculously easy.
How can I get this set up?
Simply create a project in Clearstory, invite your Subcontractors and you can send Change Notifications instantly.
What if my GC wants to add review comments or rubber stamp?
Whether the GC signs directly on the device or via a remote signature request, they can add their own comments to the T&M Tag PDF. If they have a Clearstory account, they can pre-populate their own standard notes, acting like a rubber stamp.
