How it works

During your trial, you'll unlock almost all of our features, including the mDocs Technical library and the Basic library's work sections. This means you can swiftly master the Masterspec platform and create specifications within minutes.

Here are some things to note about your trial:
  • You can create as many specifications as you want. When you're ready to upgrade to paid service, you'll be able to export these onto your computer.
  • Your specification is private during your trial. This means you can begin collaborating through Work Section Support as soon as you purchase library access.
  • When your trial expires, you will no longer have access to your specifications until you upgrade to any of our paid library option.
