Revit journal files

<aside> ☝

Sometimes we ask for the Revit journal files, but usually the Toolbox log is enough. In case we ask for the Revit journal files, follow these instructions

</aside>

A journal file contains entries for almost anything that are happening in a Revit session, and may give more detailed clues to why something is not working as it should.

The journal files are located here:

%localappdata%\\Autodesk\\Revit\\Autodesk Revit **<Revit version>**\\Journals

Replace <Revit version> with the Revit version you want to get the journal files from, i.e. *%localappdata%\\Autodesk\\Revit\\Autodesk Revit **2024**\\Journals* for Revit 2024. Paste the text into the Windows Explorer adress bar to find the journal folder.

Revit creates a new journal file for every session of Revit, that is, every time you open Revit.

Please note that a journal file may contain more sensitive information, such as project file names, Autodesk user names etc…
