New capabilities help engineers access information faster, keep automated processes running efficiently, and synchronize only the data that matters most. An upgrade also ensures you stay current with the latest SOLIDWORKS PDM capabilities while benefiting from expert guidance and support from your local SOLIDWORKS Reseller Partner. [Contact us](/contact-us) to speak with an expert about upgrading. #### How does SOLIDWORKS PDM improve engineering data management? --- SOLIDWORKS PDM 2027 improves everyday data management by making it easier to access, process, and synchronize engineering files and file contents. Single sign-on reduces login interruptions, Web2 improvements help users navigate and review vault data faster, and customizable column sets make important metadata easier to find. For distributed teams, date-based replication helps reduce unnecessary file transfers while keeping active project data available across locations. #### How does SOLIDWORKS PDM help prevent data loss? --- SOLIDWORKS PDM prevents data loss by storing all CAD models and supporting documents in a single, indexed central repository that automatically tracks every file version. Designers can check out files before making changes, ensuring no modifications overwrite existing file contents without a clear revision record. When a file is moved or renamed, SOLIDWORKS PDM updates all references automatically—a significant enhancement over manual file management. Every version remains accessible, so teams can retrieve previous iterations of any design with precision. #### What is SOLIDWORKS PDM and what does it do for designers? --- SOLIDWORKS PDM is a product data management solution that gives designers a centralized vault to store, access and share engineering files with full version control. It eliminates data loss risks, reduces time spent searching for the latest version of a file and gives teams precise control over who can access critical design content. - File management: All file changes are automatically tracked, so designers always have quick access to the most current content and automated backup. - Revision control: Files can be checked out and locked to prevent conflicting edits, with live notifications when modified files are updated. - Design reuse: Powerful search tools let teams locate existing files by name, date and metadata—reducing duplication of effort. #### Where can I learn more about SOLIDWORKS PDM? --- We have a range of resources available if you’re interested in learning more about SOLIDWORKS PDM, data management, and lifecycle management.
