Save a workshared model as a cloud model to BIM360

Is it possible to save a workshared model to BIM360 as a workshared cloud model using Revit API and/or Forge API ?

I have multiple models that I wish to upload on BIM360, but from what I see the SaveAsCloudModel method that is currently available in Revit 2021 API and described in this post only works with non-workshared models. Is there any other method ?

According to Revit API Docs, this functionality has been added in Revit 2022 API

SaveAsCloudModel() now supports save of a new Revit Cloud Worksharing central model The method:

Document.SaveAsCloudModel(Guid, Guid, String, String) has been enhanced to support upload of local workshared file into BIM 360 Design as a Revit Cloud Worksharing central model.

In addition, the exception UnauthenticatedUserException is removed from the documented exceptions for this method.

The SaveAsCloudModel function is available since Revit 2019.2, and you can follow my code snippet shared here to activate the cloud worksharing:

BTW, you need to install the Revit 2019.2 service package before coding.
