Content Browser¶
The Content Browser provides a central location for finding, reviewing and loading approved Revit content.
Use it to search the current Revit-version content library, check whether families are already present in the active project, load families or drafting views, and access related content-management utilities.
Open Content Browser¶
On the Revit ribbon:
Flow → Content → Browser
What do you want to do?¶
Find Content¶
Search the library, browse by category, show favourites or recent content, or filter content by its status in the active project.
Load Content¶
Load a family or drafting view directly, choose required types from a type catalogue, or build a queue of content to load together.
Work with Existing Project Content¶
Check whether library families are loaded or in use, reload an individual family, or reload groups of project families from the current Flow library.
Use Item Actions¶
Right-click content to open source files and folders, work with previews and type catalogues, extract drafting views, copy the source path, or reload a loaded family.
Use Content Browser Tools¶
Open the Tools menu for project, family, sheet, drafting-view and library maintenance utilities.
Having Problems?¶
Use the troubleshooting checks if content cannot be found, previewed, loaded or reloaded as expected.
