Added the Push To Autodesk Docs and Traces Palette buttons to the Civil 3D Collaborate ribbon tab.
Improved shared views to show the name of objects in the Model Browser.
Added a command named AeccUnlockCurrentDrawing which you can use to unlock a drawing if it is locked unexpectedly while saving a drawing to Autodesk Docs. For more information, see About Locking Documents Stored in Autodesk Docs.
Added a variable named LoadRecentDSProjectOnStartup which you can use to control whether the most recently used data shortcut project is loaded automatically when Civil 3D is started. For more information, see To Control Whether the Most Recently Used Data Shortcut Project is Loaded.
Note: This variable affects locally stored data shortcut projects as well as data shortcut projects stored in Autodesk Docs.
When using Autodesk Collaboration for Civil 3D, an XML configuration file can be used to prevent a drawing's reference template file from being uploaded when saving or dragging and dropping the drawing to Autodesk Docs. Multiple configuration files can be used if needed to support multiple groups or companies. For more information, see To Prevent Reference Templates from Being Uploaded to Autodesk Docs when Using Autodesk Collaboration for Civil 3D.
Important: This feature requires the September 29, 2021 (v. 15.0.0.1540) version of Autodesk Desktop Connector.

Enhancements have been made in the areas of performance, stability, and consistency.
Updates have been made to the user interface to reflect the name change from BIM 360 to Autodesk Docs.
The default value of the system variable CloudCollabModifiedOption has changed to 0. When set to 0, documents are not immediately unlocked after you close them. When a document has been edited, saved, and closed, it is unlocked after the changes have finished uploading to Autodesk Docs.
