2.Review changes from Excel
If there are any changes from Excel compared to the Revit model, then the list of changes will be picked up and presented in a table format.
The first 6 columns identify which Excel file the data is coming from, and which Revit element it applies to.
The last 3 columns describe which parameter has changed, and the old/new values.
Each row in the list corresponds to one changed parameter per Revit element. If more than one parameter per Revit element is changed in the spreadsheet, then multiple rows will show up for that Revit element.
You can selectively accept or reject the change by ticking or un-ticking the checkbox on the left hand end of each row.

When you accept the changes and all the changes has been applied to Revit model, you will get notification of whether the changes has been completed or not in the ExcelLink status bar.
