Hello - I have my model and a bunch of linked files on C4R. I receive new Revit models weekly from the GC which I have linked into my model. I tried to upload the new models from the GC to C4R, it tells me there is already a Revit model with the same name in the project and to use a different name. It does not give me the option to overwrite this model. I had to delete the model from the cloud and then upload the new model and then reload from to get the link back into my project. Why can't I just overwrite an existing model if I want to?

Also notable that you can put that consultant model as a local link if 1) you don't need its Elements visible in any Views/Sheets you are publishing to BIM 360 Team or 2) the rest of the team members can resolve the absolute path where you place the local link. Not ideal for all, but works for some.
And finally, note that this workflow inefficiency is definitely on our radar, and high on our investment priorities.

Remember to archive milestone sets of linked models!
