Using Workshared Files

One of the key features of worksharing is the ability for each team member to make changes to a local copy
of the master project file (the central file) simultaneously. On many projects, team members are assigned a
specific functional area to work on (for example interior, exterior, or site). Revit Architecture projects can
be subdivided into worksets to accommodate such environments.
Typical worksharing tasks include the following:
Create a local copy of the central file.
It is generally recommended that you create a local copy of the central file every day. After you create a
local copy of the central file, this is the file you work in.
See Creating a Local Copy of the Central File
Open and edit your local copy of the central file.
You can make edits by borrowing elements or using worksets.
See Editing Workshared Projects
Publish your changes to the central file, or get the latest changes from the central file.
Publishing your changes is known as synchronizing with central. You can update your local copy of the
central file without synchronizing with central by reloading the latest updates from the central file. Also,
when you Synchronize with Central, your local copy of the central file also updates with the latest
changes other team members have saved to the central file.

The Delete option is not available if another user is editing the workset.
