The current workflow for editing text styles in Revit is a bit cumbersome and un-Revit-like. I've found that using annotation families combined with manually filled labels allows me to create universal text blocks that can be easily adapted to different situations.

One of the main issues I have with Revit's keynote system is the inability to edit keynote files directly within the software, similar to how shared parameters files can be edited. Instead, you have to pre-create your text in a separate file and then manually update it in Revit. This process can become tedious, especially when working with multiple keynotes.

In addition to keynotes, I also use tags extensively for annotating objects in my Revit projects. There are several types of tags available, including material keynote, object keynote, and user keynote, which allow me to customize the text to suit different situations. In some cases, I may need to create multiple tags for a single object, up to a maximum of 10.

When it comes to annotating objects in Revit, my go-to method is using tags, rather than relying on text styles. While text styles can be useful in certain situations, they are not as versatile or flexible as tags. In rare instances where I do need to use text, the simple cut-and-paste method is sufficient.

Overall, I find that Revit's keynote and tag system allows me to effectively annotate my designs without relying too heavily on text styles. By leveraging these tools, I'm able to create accurate and informative annotations that help communicate my design intent to others.
