I am having an issue where I work and keeping my Revit model updated to the latest specs. I work for a modular construction company and I am trying to figure out how to update my current old Revit model to a new revised version. We got the old file and began working in it as far as shop drawings go, but just yesterday we got an updated Revit model from the architect. Is there a way to get all the work that was already done in the old model into the new model or update the old model to the new one without losing and data or sheets?
Archive the old version to a safe place and open the working file in the new Revit version. Tick Audit from the open dialog and wait. If succeed nothing should be lost.
I'm not going from a Revit version to a newer Revit version. I'm in the same version of Revit just 2 different models from the architect. I want to be able to have all my work from the old version transferred tot he new or update the old one tot he new without losing my work done already.
So you just open the architectural model and work directly on it? It is a scary workflow because they will update the file through the life of the project. You should have linked the architectural file in your own file so that when they update you simple replace the link file.
Now, it can be a mounting challenge. You can try to link the new architectural file in and delete all the old architectural's elements from the model without deleting what of your own.
So Revit a new thing here and we are trying to figure out the best way to work in it. We currently receive a detached file from the architect so when we open the file there are already broken links in it. We then make that detached file our central and work from it. Is this not a good workflow management for our situation or should we do like you say and just link the detached file to our own?

Yes. You should never worked directly on the file they sent you. Always link it to your own file to create documents.
