yes you can. but do remember to backup your families in lower version Revit 2014 in case you may need it in the future. thanks

Remember : without the difficult times in your LIFE, you wouldn't be who you are today. Be grateful for the good and the bad. ANGER doesn't solve anything. It builds nothing, but it can destroy everything...

Hi @Anonymous

I see that you are visiting as a new member. Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

When you load families into a project, the Revit family library is accessed by default. See HERE for more information.

Once you load a family into a project, it is saved with that project. See HERE to Load and Save Families

as @ennujozlagam suggested make a backup copy of your families to be upgraded into Revit 2018.

I would open (the backup copies) them in Revit 2018 prior to bringing them into my model , simply to confirm they are still functioning as expected.

you may get varying results when upgrading 4 versions at once.
