<p>Your team&#39;s view depends on your latest publish because BidLight records the model state you published, not the one still open on your screen. If someone added a wall or swapped a finish afterward, the record no longer matches until you publish again.</p> <p>That is why BidLight runs inside Revit and Navisworks and treats every publish as a versioned snapshot with its own files, author and milestone. Compare two snapshots and the differences list element by element, so you can see what changed between publishes.</p> <ul><li>Publish after any meaningful change, not just at milestones.</li><li>Compare the new snapshot with the last one before you tell the team it is current.</li><li>Check that issues still point to the right elements. They carry the sheet and revision they came from.</li><li>Use the milestone label so everyone knows which publish is the reference.</li></ul> <p>The record is only as current as the last publish. Publish often and the team stops guessing which version is current.</p>
