Any one has any worksharing tips when working on a central model with multiple people? We are having issues at work

what about the bit where it is says owner and borrowers, what do those mean?
Late but I'll add this...
I think of worksharing like a library where Worksets are Shelves and Elements (everything we make in the model) are Books. You are an Owner when you borrow an entire Shelf/Workset and you are a Borrower when you borrow elements from a shelf. If you assign all your model elements to Workset 1 then nobody on the team should "Own" the Shelf/workset because whoever does that has to sync frequently or grant editing requests from everyone else.
Your team should focus their effort in different places in the building and/or on different tasks. Someone can model the walls/doors while another creates sheets and organizes views on sheets. A person can tackle exterior design while others work inside. Another person can focus on getting details prepared and placed on sheets. If the building is large enough then people can focus on the east and west wings or first floor vs second floor etc. As someone creates the walls/doors someone else can follow along and place ceilings, rooms, furniture and so on.
Talk to each other often so each of you know where each of you should focus. Synchronize often so everyone else can see what progress is happening around them when they sync/reload latest. I sync as often as I finish a given task such as placing furniture in one room and moving on to another. That way my work is showing up as soon as it can, or should, for everyone else to see.
