Have Workshared Models saved on ACC template files remain workshared when a new project is created using the template

Please make it possible to have Workshared Models saved on ACC template files remain workshared when a new project is created using the template. The way ACC templates work currently is that it will just make a NON-workshared copy of the workshared files saved to the ACC template. This is completely pointless since the non-workshared copy can not even be opened in Revit. I would LOVE to use a feature like this to use on ACC projects for training that I often need to recreate for each training session.

The option to quickly make a copied file workshared would also be a nice alternative. (for example: a button on the ACC web interface for "initiate worksharing") At the moment, the only way to make an ACC copied model workshared is to download a copy from ACC, open it in Revit, and initiate cloud worksharing.

I do love this idea, but IF you are using Content Catalog, you can upload the workshared starter file to CC and then your users can start a project with that by "inserting" the file into the open Revit.  Works great!  And then they can easily save it to the new ACC project as a cloud workshared model. 

But this idea would be a great option as well for people not using CC!!!
