When you synchronize with central, borrowed elements are relinquished by default. You can keep them by
clearing Borrowed Elements in the Synchronize with Central dialog.
Granting a Request to Borrow an Element
This is an explicit granting process. There is also an implicit granting process that occurs when you
Synchronize with Central and relinquish the requested elements.

Requests.
NOTE Notification of a pending request is not automatic. A colleague should inform you, independent
of Revit Architecture, when they need to borrow an element from you.
You can expand the request to see the element name. To view the element, select it from the
list and, if the element is not visible in the current view, click Show.
NOTE If you have modified the requested element, and you have not saved your changes to the
central file, an asterisk appears next to the request.
You can also use Deny/Retract to withdraw your own request to borrow an element.
NOTE If you try to grant a request that has an asterisk next to it, Revit Architecture notifies you that
you have not saved your changes to central. You must either save your changes to central and then
grant the request, or you must relinquish your elements without saving to central. For more
