Renaming after a crash

[steve]

Autodesk 2023 crashes every once is while just like previous release.   (this seems very unfortunate!).   When it does so, we are offered the chance to save locally.    After that when we re-open, and repeat the COLLABORATE / COLLABORATE IN CLOUD option, are all the same project team members linked, or do you have to go through that again?

No. That would overwrite the cloud central file. You only do that if the cloud central file is corrupted.

In your case, simply open the recovery local file and sync.

so I saved the revit project as a new name (does this need to be re-shared out to the project colaborators?)

Revit still offers me to save it locally when doing scheduled save reminders.   Yes, I can chose the cloud save.  But it didn't do this before the crash.    Why?     https://drive.google.com/file/d/1W0VEPl9y6BzxIvgWh1fMPF-44WbOhMY_/view?usp=drivesdk

The local file name doesn't matter, you can still sync it to the central file.  Again, you only need to re-shared (aka make a new central file from the renamed local file) when your sync fails, meaning the central file is corrupted beyond repair.

Revit offering save to local is a good thing to have so that you don't lose work when it crashes.  So do save when you see the prompts, when you see the crash then it is already too late.  You should save the local at least once every hour and sync to central maybe twice a day.

Describe your project environment with details, please.

Something wrong with your hardware, network, OS or drivers. In almost 15 years of using Revit daily I might have a crash once a year, if even that. I'm under the impression crash frequency (if you even can call it that) reduced even with modern releases.

What have you tried to fix this? This shouldn't be happening and is risky to proceed with this happening.
