Recently we encountered the following problem: A user moved a bunch of furniture symbols to another, existing DL. For her, the symbols' DL appears correct. For me, they are on a different DL!!! No help in saving, committing etc. The only way to remedy the situation was to re-share her working file as a new .vwx file. Luckily I hadn't worked on any major changes and we could disregard my file.
Imagine the consequences for cost calculation and quantity surveying - schedules will be totally wrong, not to mention floor plans!
As it is, project sharing is completely unusable in a professional situation. Here we have an example of a user doing a simple operation, without doing anything incorrectly, the result being completely random. We are responsible for our schedules and plans, we can't have buggy project sharing!!!
Edit: A simpler explanation of the above:
-User 1 creates design layer C.
-User 1 assings symbols from existing design layer B to the new design layer C
-User 1 commits all changes
-User 2 refreshes the working file
-For User 2, symbols appear on existing design layer A (!)
-Refreshing, saving, committing, releasing has not effect.
