About Migrating Linked Models to BIM 360

When you initiate collaboration in the cloud for a Revit model that includes Revit links, you also need to migrate the linked models.

When you open a cloud model in Revit, it reloads the link, acquiring the latest version of a link from its source, as follows:

• Direct linking: The latest changes in the linked model are automatically loaded into the host model.
  Note: Direct linking is available for both BIM 360 Docs and BIM 360 Team.
• Indirect linking: The author of the linked model makes a copy of the model through BIM 360 Docs to a folder where other teams have View (or greater) permissions. When linking to a copy, a new version of the link is loaded into the host model only when the copy is updated with a new version.
  Note: Indirect linking is not available with BIM 360 Team.
