Using Worksharing Monitor

Worksharing Monitor facilitates the use of Revit software in a file-based worksharing environment, in which multiple people work on one project. For workshared projects, the Worksharing Monitor answers questions like the following:

• Who is currently working on this project?
• Is my local copy of the project up to date?
• When will my Synchronize with Central operation finish?
• Has my request to borrow elements been granted?
• Are any issues interfering with my work on a Revit project?

Note: Worksharing Monitor is not useful for standalone Revit projects, which do not use worksharing to divide the work for a project among several people.

Worksharing Monitor works with all Revit products, including Revit Architecture, Revit MEP, and Revit Structure. If you are working on one or more workshared Revit projects, install Worksharing Monitor on your computer. When you open a workshared project in the Revit software, also start Worksharing Monitor. (Using Worksharing Monitor with worksharing projects is not required, but it is strongly recommended.)

For information about setting up, using, and managing workshared projects, as well as terminology and concepts related to worksharing, see “Working in a Team” in the Revit Help.
