3 Click Open.
4 In the Project Backup Versions dialog, select a version.
5 Click Rollback.
6 Click OK to continue the rollback, or click Cancel.
NOTE If your local copy of the central file has a version number greater than the version number the

Saving a Specific Backup Version as a New File
1 Click Collaborate tab
➤
Synchronize panel
➤
Restore Backup.
2 In the Browse for Folder dialog, navigate to the backup folder, and click Open.
3 In the Project Backup Versions dialog, select the version to save.
4 Click Save As, and save the file.
5 When you save the project under the new name, Revit Architecture prompts you to open the
extracted project. Click Yes or No.
Revit Architecture considers this file as a local version of the central file. If you want the file to
become the new central file, you must explicitly save it as such. For more information, see
Creating a Central File from an Existing Workshared File on page 1272.
Viewing Workshared File History
You can view a list of all the times a workshared file (the central file or a local copy of the central file) was
saved and who saved it. The list also shows any comments entered in the Synchronize with Central dialog.
1 Click Collaborate tab
➤
Synchronize panel
➤
Show History.
2 In the Show History dialog, navigate to the shared file, select it, and click Open.
3 In the History dialog, click the column headers to sort alphabetically or chronologically.
4 If desired, click Export to export the history table as delimited text. The delimited text can then
be read by a spreadsheet program.
5 When finished, click Close.
Creating a Central File from an Existing Workshared File
You may need to create a central file from an existing workshared file if you want to move the central file
location (see
Moving the Central File on page 1273). You may also need to abandon the existing central file
and want to use a local copy of the central file (rather than a backup of the central file) as the new central
file. You may need to do this if, for example, a team member was working offline on a local copy of the
central file and those changes need to remain in the project.
Before you create a new central file, be sure to rename the workshared file or specify a different directory
path before saving. You rename to avoid overwriting the existing central file and potentially losing all other
team members' changes.
1 Open the existing workshared file.
