The sync confirmation dialog is displayed by default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To skip the confirmation dialog and apply the changes automatically, enable the option Skip confirmation dialog<\/em> in the Advanced tab of the sync item settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The confirmation dialog shows all the changes that will be applied during a sync, grouped by files to be removed, overwritten and added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When a regular file<\/strong> has been added or removed or its contents have changed, its name is displayed in the default label color. On the other hand, if only a file’s metadata<\/strong> has changed (such as the hidden or locked state), its name is displayed in gray and the Size column shows a dot “\u2022” to indicate that the actual file contents will not be copied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, a directory<\/strong> is displayed in gray if it’s neither removed nor added (but contents with a black name will). If the directory’s metadata has changed, its name is also displayed in gray and the Size column shows a dot “\u2022”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finder tags are always synced for new files. If the option Always synchronize tags<\/em> in the Synchronization tab is enabled and the tags have been modified for an already existing file, the file will appear in gray and show a dot “\u2022” in the Size column to indicate that only the metadata has changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manipulate changes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Exclude temporarily<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A file can be excluded temporarily from the sync by selecting it and pressing the Delete key, or by right-clicking the file to open the context menu and selecting Remove From Change List<\/em>. On the next sync, the file will be listed again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exclude permanently<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A file can be excluded permanently by right-clicking it to open the context menu and selecting Add Selected Files to the Filter<\/em>. If you want to exclude all files with a specific name, select Add All Files With the Same Name to the Filter<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to include the files again, remove the respective filters<\/a> in the sync settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Revert changes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For two-way syncs<\/a>, changes can be reverted, preventing them from being propagated:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
