How to Create and Edit a Title Block in Revit
Eight steps in Revit, or one sentence in Mira.
Do it with MiraClick File tab › New › Title Block and pick a sheet size. Draw the border, add a logo, and place labels with Create tab › Text panel › Label for fields such as Sheet Number. Save it and load it into the project.
Or, just ask Mira, a free add-in, to fill blank Drawn By and Checked By fields.
How to do it in Revit
Step 1: Start from a title block template
Click File tab › New › Title Block, pick one of the predefined sizes or New Size.rft, and click Open (Autodesk Help: Create a Title Block). The lines in the template mark the paper edge, and anything outside them won't show in a PDF export.
Step 2: Draw the layout and add the logo
Draw the border and boxes with lines, and add fixed text such as your firm's name. For a logo, click Insert tab › Import panel › Import Image and click to place it, importing the image at the size it should print.
Step 3: Add labels for the sheet fields
Click Create tab › Text panel › Label and click where the field goes. In Edit Label, move parameters such as Sheet Number, Sheet Name and Drawn By into Label Parameters, and each sheet fills them in (Autodesk Help: Create Annotation Labels).
Step 4: Add custom fields with shared parameters
For a field Revit doesn't have, create a shared parameter with Manage tab › Settings panel › Shared Parameters, and in Edit Label click Add Parameter to use it. In the project, add the same parameter under Sheets for per-sheet values or Project Information for project-wide ones (Autodesk Help: Add Custom Fields to a Title Block). Use shared parameters, not project parameters, or the family and the project won't share it.
Step 5: Add a revision schedule
In the title block, click View tab › Create panel › Revision Schedule, pick fields, which match the columns of Sheet Issues/Revisions, and sort by Revision Sequence. Then drag the schedule from the Project Browser onto the title block where it belongs.
Step 6: Save and load it
Click File tab › Save, then Load into Project on the Family Editor panel. In the project, the title block appears under Families › Annotation Symbols; to bring it into other projects, see how to load a family.
Step 7: Swap it onto your sheets
Open a sheet, select its title block and pick the new one in the Type Selector (Autodesk Help: Change the Title Block Used on a Sheet). For a sheet that has none, use View tab › Sheet Composition panel › Title Block.
Step 8: Fill in the values
Project-wide fields come from Manage tab › Settings panel › Project Information and update every sheet at once. Per-sheet fields such as Drawn By and Checked By are sheet properties: edit them in the Properties palette, or click the text on the sheet.
What to watch for
Edit the one you have. Right-click the title block under Families › Annotation Symbols, choose Edit, change it and load it back. See how to edit a family for what the overwrite options do.
Project or sheet, decide per field. A Project Information value prints the same on every sheet, while a sheet parameter can differ on each. Since Revit 2026, a Sheet Collection parameter can also feed a label, for values shared by one submission.
Keep the logo file small. Revit keeps a large image at its full file size even after you shrink it in the title block, which slows the project. Import it at the size it prints.
A custom field needs both halves. The label reads a sheet or project value only if the same shared parameter is also added to the project under Sheets or Project Information. A label that stays blank usually means that half is missing.
Revisions print from the title block. A sheet shows a revision schedule only if its title block has one. See how to add revisions.
Every office tweaks its own copy. A title block edited in one project, with a new phone number or a moved logo, drifts from the firm's .rfa, and the next project loads the old one again. After a few years there are several versions and nobody is sure which is current. Revit family management keeps the approved version marked, so every project loads the same title block.

- Type this in Mira
Set Drawn By to AB and Checked By to RW on every sheet where they're blank.
Mira reads Drawn By and Checked By on every sheet, leaves values already filled in alone, and shows you the list before it writes. It sets both in one step after you approve, reads every value back, and one Ctrl+Z undoes it.
