When you have a workshare enabled file, hosting linked file(s), and you tag elements in those linked files, the tag hosting can be broken by synchronising without having the latest version of the linked files loaded (because synchronising does not update linked files).
It would therefore be incredibly sensible and useful to have an 'Update Linked Revit Files' tick-box option in the synchronise dialogue, which updates all your linked before synchronising. This would massively help reduce tag hosting issues.
