This was really useful, as I have ended my maintenance subscription on a perpetual license of Revit 2020 and the desktop application no longer provides these updates. Could you please provide a link to the new Revit 2020.2.3 V20.2.30.42 hotfix?
I don’t see that the update solved “Failed to open document” when a try to open an old Project. Do you know where to get that info.? Thanks
