I wanted to save a my local as a central file and under file save options there are two boxes.  One to make this a central file and another to "compact file".  What happens when your compact file is checked?  I don't want to mess anything up with our links, etc.?

The following is taken directly from the RA2009 help file:

 

"Compact File. Reduces file sizes when saving workset-enabled files. During a normal save, Revit Architecture only writes new and changed elements to the existing files. This can cause files to become large, but it increases the speed of the save operation. The compacting process rewrites the entire file and removes obsolete parts to save space. Because it takes more time than a normal save, use the compact option when the workflow can be interrupted."
