I can't speak for what my team is dong this year but last year we used gradcad workshop fairly heavily. We worked on it by having each sub team CAD up parts and assemblies and then usually I or another teammate would add the parts to the (mostly) final overall model. This was done so there wasn't a ton a different versions of the main assembly. This kept most assemblies fairly up to date and accurate, and prevented people from uploading changes using an old version of the main assembly. It can work just make sure to be fairly careful to not change parts on an old version. Also we used version notes slot to keep track of what was done so we could track where changes came from. *Note we were using school issued computers (no install privalges) and out process involved downloading the models from grabcad and working on those then reuploading. We worked in inventor 2016. (On mobile right now so sorry if this isn't worded super clearly I can clear anything up if needed)
