Video: Access Your Revit Data

From Revit Home, you can do the following:

• Click the arrow at the top of the left pane to go to the ribbon and the active Revit model, if applicable.
• Open or create a model or family.
• View or access your recent files. Home displays Revit models, stored locally or in the cloud, and families you opened most recently.
  • In the left pane, click Recent Files.
    Note: When you click on a central file from the Recent Files page, Revit always creates a local copy of the central model to prevent unwanted edits to the central file. To access the central file, click FileOpen.
  • In the right pane, click a thumbnail image to open that model or family.
  • Click Learn to access online learning resources.
• View or access Revit models on Autodesk Docs.
  Note: You must be a member of a Autodesk Docs project to view and access these models.
  • In the left pane, click Autodesk Docs.
  • In the right pane, select an Autodesk Docs project name.
  • Select a project folder to view a list of Revit models.
  • Click the Settings icon in the upper right corner to customize the column headings.
    Tip: Click and drag the right edge of a column to adjust the width.
  • Click the ellipsis ( … ) to the right of a model to display a menu of commands. You can open with worksets, open and audit, publish a model, or view the version history.
    Note: For the best performance, use Revit Home to publish a model.
  • Click Version History to display a list of synchronized versions for the model. You can filter the number of version shown for the last 30, 60, or 90 days, or all versions. Use the search field to filter the list based on the By, Comments, or Date fields.

    To open a version of the model, click the ellipsis ( … ) to the right of a version and click Open. A Revit model corresponding to the selected version will open as detached. You can save it locally, use it to copy content, or reinitiate it to Autodesk Docs.

• Click Refresh in the upper right corner to update the display.

Why does it appear that some Autodesk Docs projects are missing in Revit Home?

Revit Home displays only the Autodesk Docs projects containing models that match the release of Revit you are running. For example, if you launched Revit 2021, you will see the Autodesk Docs projects which Revit 2021 cloud models (workshared or non-workshared). Models created in a previous release of Revit are not displayed in the project. If desired, you can upgrade these projects and models to a more recent release of Revit. When the upgrade has succeeded, these models and projects display in Revit Home.
