ARRevision

Keep track of changes within your project, and who made the change. Protect items from deletion.

On a large project, or even on small ones, it's important to keep track of what's been changed since the last issue.

The Revit App - Revision Monitor, time and user stamps items when they are changed. View filters can then highlight the changed items, or half-tone unchanged items.

Knowing who caused an unwanted change allows you to provide further training to that user.

Protect Monitor allows you to protect items from accidental deletion.

Revision / Protect Monitor is a part of the ARUtils download.
