    Hi Guys!
    I was just wondering.. if any of you knows how to save a client file to make it become central file...?

    Right now I feel like royally shafted, after using workset and after a weekend Server upgrade my local files are no longer related to the central files which wouldn't let me save all the changes I have made (1 day of solid work). Copy and pasting all the changes is too messy and I could miss something important when doing such operation.
    What I like to know is if there is such a way to save your local client files to make it become central files again?..

    Another thing, I like to suggest to the Revit Team to make Workset more robust and yet not so "finicky" that it lost the value of using it... (*right now I am thinking to just co-ordinate all the work manually instead of using Revit's workset which at times is highly unreliable..)

    Another suggestion I just thought of for Workset : There should be constant monitoring of all team's progress of using worksets.. instead of having to "reload newest workset" all the time, or manually, it should be automated, when another user use a particular workset, it will send an update to all users on this particular worksets.

    Save as > Options...> Make this the central location after save



    Hopefully, it didn't damage anything...
