When you are working with a local copy of a project file, check the corresponding tab of the Central File Access pane to see whether the central file has been updated by others.
If other users have changed the central file, the icon displays next to the local file name. Move the cursor over the icon to see a tooltip indicating who has updated the central file.
When you use Collaborate tabSynchronize panelReload Latest in the Revit session to bring your local copy of the project file up to date with the central file, the icon disappears from the project tab on the Central File Access pane of the Worksharing Monitor.
If desired, you can configure an option to receive a desktop alert whenever someone updates the central file. See Set Options in Worksharing Monitor.
