Save As.
7 In the Save As dialog, specify a file name and directory location for the central file.
When specifying a name for the central file, use a naming convention that identifies the file as
the central file (for example, OfficeBuilding_CentralFile.rvt).
IMPORTANT When you save the central file, be sure that it is saved to a network drive all team
members have access to.
8 In the Save As dialog, click Options.
9 In the File Save Options dialog, select Make this a Central File after save, and click OK.
NOTE If this is the first time you have saved after enabling worksharing, this option is selected by
default and cannot be changed.
10 In the Save As dialog, click Save.
The file is now the central file for the project. Revit Architecture creates the file in the directory you specified
and creates a backup folder for the file. For example, if your central file is called OfficeBuilding_CentralFile,
you see the Revit project file and the backup folder (OfficeBuilding_CentralFile_backup) in the directory.
The backup folder contains the backup information and editing permission information for the central file.
For more information on backup files and folders, see
Workshared Project Rollback on page 1208.
The Revit_temp folder contains files that provide progress information on operations (such as Save to Central)
to the Worksharing Monitor. For more information, see
Worksharing Monitor on page 1211.
