Revit sync queue
& worksharing
coordination®
BIMGrove Sync Sentry puts Synchronize with Central behind a visible Revit sync queue. Monitor who is active, next, idle, or syncing; coordinate requests and relinquish actions; and manage sync traffic without turning daily worksharing into guesswork.
Revit sync coordination, monitoring, and queue control.
Sync Sentry combines a shared Project Users table, Revit sync queue, worksharing status monitoring, Request Relinquish, role-aware traffic controls, Queue Manager recovery tools, and exportable activity history in one Revit-aware console.
The live Revit sync queue in one table.
The table stretches with the console and uses four columns: # for queue position, User, Status, and Request. Follow Queue places the user to the queue after the selected user queues up.
Monitor Revit sync status: Working, Idle, Next Up, or Syncing.
Status can show Revit-document idle after 5 minutes, sync progress as text, paused users, current turn, and blocked Revit dialog conditions without relying on general Windows mouse activity.
Manage Revit sync traffic by role.
All users can follow rows, send queue requests, and use Request Relinquish. Queue Managers can add, remove, pause, unpause, force sync, and reorder to manage Revit sync traffic. Admins can assign Queue Managers and run recovery actions.
A compact Revit sync monitor.
Use Widget Mode as a compact Revit sync monitor while keeping screen space available. It preserves Project Users, queue position, worksharing status, row styling, requests, and theme-aware headers.
Revit sync queue maintenance: Refresh, Repair, Clean, and Reset.
Refresh is available to all users. Queue Managers and Admins can Repair Queue, Clean Queue, and Reset. SHIFT+Reset is Admin-only hard recovery that exports history before cleaning current-model Sync Sentry files.
Revit sync guardrails for repeated queue actions.
Sync Sentry guards Join Queue, Sync, Auto-Queue, and shared-file actions so repeated clicks do not stack writes or burn Personal mode join counts before a successful queue write.
Manage Revit sync traffic with a visible queue.
BIMGrove Sync Sentry brings Revit sync queue management, worksharing monitoring, relinquish coordination, and Synchronize with Central traffic into one shared workflow for teams collaborating on network central models.
Coordinate who syncs next.
Join Queue, Next Up, Follow Queue, pause/unpause, reorder, and Force Sync give teams a clear order instead of overlapping Synchronize with Central attempts.
Monitor worksharing status and sync traffic.
Project Users and Widget Mode show queue position, Working, Idle, Next Up, Syncing progress, requests, and blocked Revit dialog conditions. For teams looking for a Revit worksharing monitor, Sync Sentry adds explicit queue coordination to live status visibility.
Coordinate requests and protect the queue.
Request Relinquish, debounced queue actions, active-sync protection, Repair Queue, Clean Queue, and Reset provide Revit sync guardrails. Revit sync maintenance stays inside the same shared queue workflow when state needs attention.
Project visibility, Revit sync monitoring, and queue management.
Each console view focuses on Revit worksharing coordination: monitor live Project Users and sync traffic, act on the selected user, or open Manage for queue and recovery tools.
Project Users
See who is connected to the current model, each user's queue position, working or idle status, sync progress, and active request state.
User Actions
Select a user to access role-aware actions such as Follow Queue, Queue Request, add or remove from the queue, pause or unpause, and Force Sync when permitted.
Manage tab
Queue Managers and Admins use Manage for Repair Queue, Clean Queue, Reset, exports, and permission-based recovery controls.
Revit sync options, Project Users, and history stay separated.
Left slide-out
Options / ManageOptions holds personal sync behavior. Manage holds queue maintenance and exports. The panel opens expanded at launch, then collapses after load.

Revit sync and relinquish actions are grouped by permission level.
| Role | Actions | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| All Users | Follow Queue Once, Follow Queue Always, Unfollow, Queue Request, Join/Leave Queue, Pause/Unpause Me, Request Relinquish. | Lets every user coordinate turns and request attention without queue-management rights. |
| Queue Managers | Add to Queue, Force Sync, Remove from Queue, Pause Queue, Unpause Queue, drag reorder, Repair Queue, Clean Queue, Reset, and exports. | Keeps the queue usable during busy production sync windows while protecting the active sync turn. |
| Admin | Add Queue Manager, Remove Queue Manager, Force Close Dialog, Force Launch Project from User History, and SHIFT+Click Reset hard recovery. | Controls who can manage the queue and gives the assigned Admin recovery tools when a workstation or shared file state is blocking progress. |
| Widget Mode | Compact monitoring view with theme-aware rows, follow styling, and queue status. | Keeps the queue visible without occupying the full console footprint. |
