Create an encrypted workspace
An encrypted workspace uses a key created on your computer, which Syncture never receives.
A workspace can be created with encryption on

Steps
- 1
Make a new workspace
Press ＋ beside Your workspaces in the console, in Revit or in your browser, and give it a name.
- 2
Turn encryption on
A key is made on your computer, by the console, and put in the field. To reuse a key your practice already deploys, paste it there instead.
- 3
Keep the key
Copy it into your password manager or vault, then press Create workspace.
Good to know
In a workspace created with encryption on, every file you publish is encrypted on your own Windows machines before it is uploaded.
Syncture never receives the key. It keeps only the key's id, to tell which key opens the workspace.
One key opens every workspace you own, so it is one string to deploy to your computers.
If the key is lost, the files in that workspace cannot be recovered, and a workspace's key cannot be changed afterwards.
Names, paths and sizes stay readable to Syncture in both kinds of workspace.
