Estimating Takeoffs - Multiple Revisions

SUGGESTED

We are just getting started on Sage Estimating. Is there a way to save multiple copies of takeoff revisions for the same job.  So you would have your starting takeoff.  Then after reviewing and maybe making some design changes you created and second takeoff but still need access to the first one.  Is that possible and if so, how?

Thanks!

    Multitude of ways.  Best way may be to use the built in Alternates functionality with inclusions and exclusions statuses.   You could fashion your Alternates WBS values for changes "Included" and move old takeoff to "Excluded" alternate wbs values.  Feature allows you to change the status of that work break down on s summary screen and see old excluded work on the same spreadsheet - greyed out and not accumulating to the current estimate total.  Going back to include it and exclude something else is as easy as changing the status on the summary screen.
