In case you have recently changed the password of your Share PLM account (as it occurs approx. every 3 months), your credentials are automatically changed for your PLM account.

When an engineering user updates the system with a new or latest revision of a drawing, the drawing container must be promoted to “Publish” before users from different departments are able to view and retrieve the data. The same practice is applied for Reference Documents linked to Parts and for the Project Folder’s documents.
