Able to sync offline file to central file when there is a server issue

Once in a while we get the message your local is no longer able to sync with central file when multiple users working on Revit file offline. Autodesk should come up with a way to able to see the offline changes and ask the user if they want to override the changes once they have sync with the central file. This adds a great deal of time saving so user don't have to stop work when there is a server issue. Normally when there is a server issue, user would have to copy and paste Revit objects manually.

100% agree. The biggest failure point with any cloud service is when there is a break in the connection, either due to the internet or the service.

In the case of Revit, it already has the ability to work locally using Worksharing, with users having a fairly recent local copy when they are unable to sync with central/cloud.

So it makes sense that these users should have a means to continue working locally (on their server), and then sync changes back to the cloud when it comes back online.

I think it would also be obvious that as maybe a first development step that in this case, only one location (office) of users should be working together, and not other offices, so that when a cloud sync is done work is not unnecessarily overwritten. Then at a later development stage have the ability for all locations to carefully/systematically sync their changes while deciding whos work to keep or overwrite.
