Windchill ProjectLink allows you to view documents and annotate them for a collaborative review using its data visualization tool, ProductView.  You can annotate different document types including Word, Excel, PDF, and others.

This tutorial teaches you how to view a document in ProductView. It walks you through the following topics:

• Select a Document to View
• View the Selected Document

The first thing you need to do before you can view a file in ProductView, is navigate to your files list, and locate the file you want to work with. 

Let's locate a file:

1. Click Folders on the Project tab of the Windchill ProjectLink home page. The Folders page displays and shows all the project's folders.
2. Check the check box next to the document you want to view. In this case, we checked the M3000 Contract document.
