Using Custom Material Libraries in Revit

[MarkDT]

Hi,

My company use a shared material library which is great because we can standardize the materials we use throughout projects. However if a colleague creates a new material and we wish to add it to the shared library then this can only happen when all other users close Revit as we get the following error message.

I was wondering whether there is a method to allowing multiple changes to materials at once and which then save back, almost like creating a material central file. Any ideas on this please...

At this time, there is not a way to have multiple user create new materials in a shared library at the same time.
