title: Initiate BIM360 Docs collaboration programmatically
body: <p>In order to upgrade to the current version of Revit, we have to migrate our files from from BIM360 Teams to BIM360 Docs. Since we have hundreds of documents, I am looking to automate this process as much as possible. </p>
  
  <p>The forge API allows me to download all Revit files from BIM360 Teams. I am also able to upgrade them all to Revit 2019, using either the Revit API or a third party app such as <a href="https://apps.autodesk.com/RVT/fr/Detail/Index?id=9014092593843843383" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this Bulk File Upgrader</a>`. </p>
  
  <p>Using the Forge BIM360 API, I am able to create new projects programmatically, and upload the files and folders from the Team Drive. The step that I am having difficulty accomplishing in an automated fashion is to initiate collaboration for the upgraded Revit 2019 files. Is there a way that this can be accomplished with either the Revit API or the Forge API? Or is there another way that allows me to automatically accomplish the migration between these two Autodesk Cloud Collaboration solutions? </p>
  
  <p>I came across <a href="https://forge.autodesk.com/en/docs/data/v2/tutorials/publish-model/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this tutorial on publishing models</a>, which suggests that one needs to manually initiate collaboration for each Revit file through the Revit UI. I hope to find an alternative solution to this suggestion. </p>
  
  <p>Thank you!</p>
