Synchronizing problem with Revit Server

Have you ever experience synchronizing problem with your Revit Server and you get this pop-up message "Operation could not be completed" -> "File not saved"?


There are many reasons that can cause this issue, to name a few:

- it can be due to network access. Ping your Central Server and check if the latency is more than 200ms. Probably the process could be timing out.
- file access issues.
- model changes may create conflict too.
- connectivity issues between office networks.
- network bandwidth issue and the network is saturated due to video conferencing, YouTube etc.
- Revit server needs a dedicated 1 mbps for a good performance.
- local hardware can also be an issue like docking station malfunctioning creating disruption between Revit and the Revit Server.
