Skipping a release of Revit

[freelancette]

Hello all,

Simple question ... I was not using Revit for a period of time and have now gotten back to it.  Have been using 2021 for eight months or so, but never installed 2022.  Can I go directly to the 2023 version without installing 2022 or is that not considered a good practice from a technical point of view?

Thanks,

Robin

Should be okay. Archive original models prior to updating to the new version.

Thank you!

I presume this is more about upgrading models from previous versions.  Sequential upgrading is recommended, but frankly we've never had an issue that I can recall.  Upgrading legacy projects non-sequentially is pretty common for us.

Maybe in theory upgrading a project from one year to the next is recommended.... but I never go through all my old projects and upgrade them. If I need to open a 5 year old project, I never had a problem. 

I know families are simpler. But many families I download somewhere are 8 year old versions and it usually isn't a problem.

Thank you all for the input.  I, too, have upgraded projects from (10+?) years ago without the sequential process and have never had a major issue.  Sometimes a minor warning, but nothing significant.  I guess I was more worried about some sort of internal coding issue related to the Revit program files already on my computer, but it seems that's not a concern.

Thanks for the reassurances !!!
