What is SLOG file?
The file in the SLOG format belongs to the Misc Files category. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files.

It was released by Autodesk, Inc..
How to open SLOG file?
An often recurring problem with Autodesk Revit Worksharing Log Format is that SLOG is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open SLOG, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SLOG file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Revit
The first step is to check if the computer has the Revit program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Revit in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open SLOG files.
Programs to open SLOG file
Remember to download programs supporting SLOG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Revit with SLOG files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SLOG file to open in the Revit application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SLOG file with the Revit application.
Step 3. Update Revit to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Revit program, it is possible that Autodesk Revit Worksharing Log Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Autodesk, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SLOG file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SLOG file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SLOG or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SLOG files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SLOG files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SLOG files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SLOG files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move SLOG to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the SLOG file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SLOG file again. However, some background programs may block the SLOG file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
