Upgrading Your Revit Project to a Current Release

Not sure what to do with your Revit files when you move to the new version of Revit? Here is what you need to do to:
1.     Make sure you make a backup copy of your Revit project.
2.     If its a central file make sure all local files have saved back, synced and worksets have been released.
3.     In your current Revit version open up the drawing file. In the open dialog box put a check mark next to Audit and click the Open button.
4.     Once the project is open you will need to go to the Manage tab>Settings panel>Purge Unused and purge out all items to help expedite the upgrade process.
5.     Set up a new template in your New Revit Software. When moving to a new version of Revit it's always important to set up a template for your company. 
6.     With your new Revit open and template created link in the older Revit project, bind then ungroup. This will update the old Revit file.
The project isnt freshly created in the new version if its just opened in the newer version. There is core functionality changes to the file format that are native to the current version..by linking it into a new project created from a new template in the current version, it is supposed to be a more clean upgrade
