Displays the full path location and file name of the currently-loaded keynote table, either remote or local.
Revit attempts to load the keynote file when you open the model or select to reload the keynote table. A yellow warning icon displays in the Keynoting Settings dialog if the keynote table was not loaded, was unavailable, or was not current when Revit attempted to load it. Click Reload to load the keynote table, or click browse to select a different keynote table.

- File Path (for local files)
-
Note: The File Path options are disabled if the currently-loaded keynote table is stored on a remote server.
- Absolute: Identifies a specific folder located on your local PC or a network server. The path could be stored in the Uniform Naming Convention (UNC) format such as \\servername\share\folder\keynote.txt.
- Relative: Finds the keynote file where the project file or central model is located. If the file is moved to a new location, Revit expects to find the keynote file in this new folder location as well.
- At Library Locations: Finds the keynote file where the stand-alone installation or network deployment specified.
Numbering Method
- By keynote
-
Determines the keynote value by the value stored in the keynote parameter or selected from the keynote table. This value displays in the keynote as well as filling in the keynote parameter.
- By sheet
-
Numbers keynotes according to their order of creation.
A value for the keynote parameter is still stored if one has been chosen.
A Keynote Legend displays the Keynote Number according to the order it was created instead. No number appears in the tag until the view bearing Keynote Tags is placed on a sheet view.
