About Revit Cloud Worksharing

Architects, engineers, and contractors use Revit Cloud Worksharing to collaborate on Revit models in the cloud.

Revit Cloud Worksharing allows you to collaborate on Revit models, leading to accelerated timelines and a more efficient project workflow. You can co-author cloud models, centralize all project design data, and improve communication and collaboration across the entire team.

Your company must subscribe to the Revit Cloud Worksharing service to use this feature.

Using Revit Cloud Worksharing

Use the Revit Cloud Worksharing service to author Revit models in the cloud concurrently with other team members.

Before Revit users collaborate on a model in the cloud, you must upload the model from Revit to Autodesk Docs for Government. During the upload process, the following events occur:

• If the model does not yet have worksharing enabled, worksharing is automatically enabled, the Revit model is uploaded to the Autodesk Docs for Government project, and a locally-cached version is created on your computer.
• If the model is already workshared, the Revit model is uploaded to the Autodesk Docs for Government project, and a locally-cached version is created on your computer.

When you use the Open tool in Revit to access cloud models, Revit ensures that you are working on the latest version of the cloud model. When you use Revit Cloud Worksharing, locally cached versions of cloud models are stored in the folder %LOCALAPPDATA%\Autodesk\Revit<release>\CollaborationCache. The data in the collaboration cache should not be directly accessed or manipulated; therefore, the names of the folders and files are intentionally obfuscated.
