More details are needed in order to provide even a guess. Can you open Revit while on the student sign in? Same project? Can you open the project? Etc...

Yeah I can open the document, and the assignment is a progressive one so each assesment builds off of the last. I can open the document and edit some small things like moving walls and stuff, but when i try and edit the sheets it wont allow it and puts an x next to the cursor. also when I right click the drop down menu goes away after like a second. And if i press the file tab in the top right hand corner that closes by itslef after like a second. My guess is that because i saved the project with a different account, now I can't edit it with my student account. But I cant go back and use the other account without buying a revit subscription.

I'm not sure what a work share file is, I'm very new to the program. Yes the free trial was on a different account, And I was trying to edit dates and titles on the sheet, but I can't edit anything. Even when I right click the dropdown menu disappears almost straight away. Or if I click file in the top left hand corner to save that disappears almost straight away as well. When I try to edit the sheet the computer makes a noise and I get an X next to the cursor.

Here are some steps you can take to resolve this:

  1. Reset Licensing: You can reset the licensing on your current installation of Revit. This will allow you to log in with your student account. Follow the steps in this Autodesk guide to reset the licensing.

  2. Log in with Student Account: After resetting the licensing, log in with your student account credentials. This should activate the student version of Revit.

  3. Check Account Entitlements: Ensure that your student account has the correct entitlements. You can do this by logging into your Autodesk account and checking your products under manage.autodesk.com.

  4. Reinstall Revit: If the above steps don't work, you might need to uninstall Revit and then reinstall it using your student account credentials. Make sure to download the software from the Autodesk Education Community.

    hope that fix your problem!
