Introduction
For architects, engineers, and designers working with Autodesk Revit, managing file versions can often be a cumbersome task. Opening a Revit file in a different version of the software can lead to upgrade notifications or compatibility issues, wasting precious time and causing frustration. However, with the File Version Checker 2023 plugin, this process can be streamlined and simplified, allowing users to quickly identify the version of a Revit file and open it in the appropriate version of the software with ease.

Features
The File Version Checker is a lightweight application that serves as the default application for Revit files. When a user opens a Revit file through their system's file explorer, the plugin reads the basic file information to determine the exact version of Revit in which it was saved. It also scans the user's Revit install location to identify the available Revit versions on their system.
If the user has the same version of Revit that the file was saved in, the File Version Checker presents a convenient "open" button, allowing the user to quickly access the file without any compatibility issues. For users with newer versions of Revit installed, the plugin provides the option to upgrade the file to the desired version of Revit, eliminating the guesswork and hassle of opening and upgrading files manually.

To use the plugin, simply open a Revit file through the system's file explorer. The File Version Checker will automatically detect the file's version and match it with the available Revit versions on the user's system. Users can then choose to open the file in the appropriate version of Revit or upgrade it to a newer version, all with just a few clicks.
