NEW   Understanding worksharing

The Revit link supports worksharing by detecting when a local copy of a model is synchronized with the central file in a vault. During synchronization, the link can behave differently depending on how it is configured by a system administrator.

The link can:

• Check the central file out to you in either the Quick Change or the Under Change workflow state. You might be prompted to accept or decline the routing.
• Check the central file out to a virtual user (for example, Design Team) in either the Quick Change or the Under Change workflow state.
• Release the central file automatically after synchronization has finished or one user must click the Release Shared Central button in Revit.
• Update Meridian properties of the central file with synchronization information such as the names of editable worksets, synchronization date and time, reload date and time.
• Maintain a Meridian Enterprise reference between the local copy and the central file.

For details about how the Revit link is configured in your system, consult a system administrator.
