| K1 | YES | NO | Keynote Files only read when “reloaded,” or when asked for a Keynote Entry (Assign a Keynote to an element). They CAN be stored across a WAN, but the performance difference will be felt. |
| K2 | YES | NO | Keynote Files only read when “reloaded,” or when asked for a Keynote Entry (Assign a Keynote to an element). They CAN be stored across on ACC, but this will make them be loaded through each users Desktop Connector. Note that rapid-successive edits by multiple users WILL result in LOST WORK,. |
| K3 | YES | YES | Revolution Design Keynote Manager Cloud Services- Cloud offering that hosts the Keynote File that's fast enough to not lose/truncate users work, between saves |
| K4 | YES | NO | Keynote File CAN be stored Locally on LAN, assuming ALL MEMBERS of the Model Editing team can access the LAN while working in the model. If its on ACC, that (most likely) isnt the case. If editing from remote locations, this will not be sustainable |

| A1 | YES | NO | Render Assets have (historically) caused instability and crashing, if the Material Editor sensed latency loading the images. VPN and WAN access frequently contributed to crashing while editing or accessing Materials. |
| A2 | YES | YES | Render Assets tested in Revit 2025 and Desktop Connector 16.11 appear to work correctly (when Project is set to sync in DC), WITHOUT the DC folder listed in the ARAP dialogue. Note that this definitively did not work in earlier years (was last tested by us in 2021). |
| A3 | YES | NO | Render Assets CAN be stored Locally or on LAN, assuming ALL MEMBERS of the Model Editing team can access the LAN while working in the model. If its on ACC, that (most likely) isnt the case. If editing from remote locations, this will not be sustainable |

| I1 | YES | NO | Linked Images and PDF’s can be read across the WAN, but cause significant delays in SWC/Save operations, appearing to get stuck during Reload Latest, while Linked Assets are pulled across the WAN during the Save/Sync Operations. Drastically slows down performance for those not “local” to the resources. |

| T1 | YES | NO | Revit Template Files can be read across the WAN, which will just significantly increase the amount of time it takes to create the new File. While we dont recommend it, it does function. |
| T2 | NO | NO | Revit Templates are ONLY used for the initial File creation. They are not linked, or referenced, once the project is created. Because of that, they are not applicable, once a file is already workshared (whether LAN, RS, ACC, or other). |
| T3 | NO | NO | Revit “Templates” (actual .rte files) cant be used (easily) from ACC. Some firms make “Starter projects” instead of actual Templates, simply to already have Worksets configured, but we do not recommend this approach, as it doesnt have many upsides and has a lot of downsides. |

| F1 | YES | NO | Revit Families are not linked, they are Loaded (Imported) in to the file, so their final saved location doesnt matter (except for performance when loading). They CAN be stored across a WAN, but loading/browsing Families will be slower, given their size and speed of connection across a WAN. |
| F2 | NO | NO | Revit Families CAN be saved to ACC (keeping in mind that Revit Files are Version Specific, so there would need to be an “Acc Project” for each version of Revit). This would then mean they needed to be accessed through Desktop Connector (currently), which is a less than ideal experience for users. It CAN work, but we do not recommend this for every day usage. |
| F3 | YES | YES | Several Content management Solutions also offer Third Party Cloud Storage for Families, that then “serve them up” through the Application, when users ask for them. KCFB has this option, Pirros, Unifi (pre Content Catalog) etc. It is a viable option if you are looking to serve people working from remote locations, as long as the Cloud Provider is reliable, and the performance is accetable. |
