Version 2024.11.29 Web

Unified Item Pages
We’ve introduced a new Item Page that consolidates all information from the different Revit versions of an item into a single central hub. Instead of managing separate pages for each Revit version—each with its own comments and details—you can now:
- Add comments and descriptions on a single page, ensuring consistent information across all Revit versions of the family.
- Manage the item as a whole, focusing on the family rather than individual versions.
While each version still has its own dedicated page for version-specific details, the new Item Page simplifies workflows, reduces inconsistencies, and lets you think about items more comprehensively without needing to manage each version separately.
