Action Center

The Action Center is an Archicad Tab/window:

It collects all the information you need about the update status of the following project components:

Libraries

Hotlinks

Drawings

Reports (Session Reports)

Licenses

Updates (Archicad and Library)

Feedback (User Surveys)

Use the Action Center to get information on their current status, issues that need to be resolved, and to run a check where needed.

Some of these items (e.g. Libraries) are checked automatically whenever you open a project.

Other items (e.g. Hotlinks and Drawings) may require you to run a manual check.

Where Do I See the Action Center?

The Action Center window appears automatically in the Tab Bar (or the current window, if you don’t use the Tab Bar) whenever any item(s) need checking or action.

At any time: use File > Info > Action Center
