Add Option to Synchronize and Close Model in One Step

Add Option to Synchronize and Close Model in One Step

In my daily workflow, I work with multiple Revit models. After completing my tasks in a model, I need to synchronize it with the central model and then manually close it as a separate step. This becomes time-consuming and interrupts the flow, especially when dealing with several models throughout the day.

I would like to suggest a feature that allows users to synchronize and close a model in a single action. This could be implemented as an additional button or checkbox in the Synchronize with Central dialog, such as "Synchronize and Close."

This small improvement would streamline workflows, save time, and reduce repetitive steps—particularly beneficial for users managing multiple models.

Uhh, if you close a work shared model that's hasn't been synced, it asks what you want to do. If you select Synchronize with central, it will do just that and close the file. Problem solved?

Yes, that didn't occurred to me before. I tried that way and it is working. When closed that way, it loads for a while and give the synchornize option. Still, it looks like I am doing the wrong way. There is a risk in it, what if Revit didn't detect the changes and closes the file without saving.

This is a workaround and I hope if Revit introduces that option in synchronize window it would be better.
