New ProjectWise Web URL (requires CORS configuration update)
The URL for ProjectWise Web has changed and is now: https://connect-projectwisewac.bentley.com
To use this new version of ProjectWise Web, your administrator must redeploy Bentley Web Services Gateway and the ProjectWise Plug-in (or manually edit the web.config file of the existing deployment) in order to add this new URL to the CORS (cross-origin resource sharing) list (the list of Bentley cloud service URLs that are allowed to communicate with Bentley Web Services Gateway).
If you still have older work area connections (those created in older versions of ProjectWise Share or ProjectWise Web), you can still access them by expanding the Connections tab and clicking the Open older PW Web Connectionslink at the bottom of the tab. This takes you to https://projectshareportal.bentley.com. If you still need to access these older work area connections, make sure your administrator does NOT remove this older URL when adding the new ProjectWise Web URL to the CORS list, as this older URL is still required in order to access these older work area connections.
