Adding addenda to your project

Hi, am i doing something wrong with ZZ?


We work in the commercial sector and we get a lot of addenda with pages ranging from 1-2 pages to 3-500 pages depending on many factors. Our drawing sets are typically 75-100 pages of architectural. When Addenda come in with other software's we use... they load up in file folders such as add#1, add#2 and so forth depending on how we named the folders. I have tried a few different things with ZZ and so far I have not been able to find a way to load addenda the way i want to see them... Which is in folders with their appropriate file name.


Lets say I navigate to ZZ find the project and click on the plus symbol at the top. We have options for add pages, add blank, from clipboard and new folder. When I click add pages the addenda drawings get mixed in with the rest of the drawings Or I can have them continue with new pages from the bottom of the page list and add more pages with new titles. I see some options about revision plan sets but honestly tracking addenda that way doesn't work for me. I need to see all the pages of the addenda since there are Q&A or other architect notes that appear on letterhead which give additional instructions. I don't know about anyone else... but I like to read my addenda like a book... in order. I don't need ZZ to deconstruct the PDF assembly as I have received it. I can do that myself later if I need to.


The biggest thing is... I don't understand why there is no option to load in my addenda into a target a folder titled addendum 1 and so forth for subsequent addenda. So far what i am seeing is I have to create a folder, title it as needed, download the addenda, and highlight 500 pages and drag it into the folder. Seems like this could be simplified by allowing us to target a folder to post the addenda into?


What am i missing here?
