Saving a File with a Different Name or Location

1 Click File menu
2 In the Save As dialog, navigate to the desired folder.
3 If desired, change the file name.

5 To specify save options, click Options, set the options as desired, and click OK.
6 Click Save.

Save Options

When using File menu
Save Options dialog:
Maximum backups. Specifies the maximum number of backup files. By default, non-workshared projects
have 3 backups, and workshared projects have up to 20 backups. See
71.
Make this a Central File after save: Sets the current workset-enabled file to be the central file. See
a Central File from an Existing Workshared File
Compact File. Reduces file sizes when saving workset-enabled files. During a normal save, Revit Architecture
only writes new and changed elements to the existing files. This can cause files to become large, but it
increases the speed of the save operation. The compacting process rewrites the entire file and removes
obsolete parts to save space. Because it takes more time than a normal save, use the compact option when
the workflow can be interrupted. See
Preview. Specifies the preview image that displays when you open or save a project. The default value
for this option is Active View/Sheet. Revit Architecture can create a preview image only from open views.
If you select Regenerate if View/Sheet is not up-to-date, Revit Architecture updates the preview image
whenever you open or save the project. This option can consume considerable resources on a complex
model. Use it only if you want the preview image to update frequently.

Setting Save Reminders

You can specify how often Revit Architecture reminds you to save an open project, or you can turn off the
reminder.
