Source of Copy/Monitored Elements

For elements that are Copy/Monitored in our Host Models, it would be great for those items to indicate which link they are monitoring. Let's say you have a large project with more than 5 models and that you are copy/monitoring items from 1 or 2 of those models. It would be great to be able to select the monitored element and know exactly which model it relates to. Pretty simple right? Not available in Revit though. Whoops! I don't want to have to select each individual link and see if there is a need for coordination review. If there isn't then I wouldn't even know which elements are monitored in that model! It would be great to have this little oversight to be patched up. And while we're at it: expand the functionality to include other elements (See Copy/Monitor Beams). Thanks!

A simple example in my companies workflow is for grids, we typically copy/monitor the grids from the architectural model first then later switch to the grids from the structural model once the structural model takes over ownership of the grids.  It would be great to pick a grid and see its model it's monitoring in the properties palette.

It would be good to have this function so users can access the info more easily.  There is also a temporary work-around to access this info.  Just nudge a monitored grid, then Revit will launch a yellow-colour dialog box warning "Coordination Monitor alert: Grid moved by XXXX".  Click Expand Warning Dialog to open the next window and the source file detail will be there.  After this, make sure to undo the nudge.

One way to ensure multiple sources of truth and the continuation of legacy thinking is to implement a disruptive tool going forward that provides the single source of truth in BIM but is hard to use.

I think the Copy Monitor in not reliable at all unless we see what is monitor by what immediately. A tool that is not reliable is not useful. at least it would be useful to have a schedule of what is monitored by what. If accidentally I monitor grid A by B instead of A, it stays for ages incorrect.
