Version 2024.11.29 Web
Nov 29, 2024
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.
Editable Comments

Journal Download API Endpoint
- Added a new API endpoint that allows to download journals, providing easier access to troubleshooting information.
