So in Revit it's actually possible to save a project in two ways so the default way that projects get saved only allows one user to access those projects at a time, that works fine for smaller projects and smaller teams but in most cases, in most AEC projects you're going to have a team of professionals working together and that really wouldn't work so well. So if only one person could access the file at a time then every other subsequent user would get a read only message when they tried to open the file and it would be very disruptive and not conducive to team collaboration. So the alternative way to save a file is to create a multi-user file and that is often referred to as a work-share enabled project. Work sharing is just the Revit term for a team project.
