Synchronisation Modes

As explained on the synchronisation modes page there are two synchronisation modes:

  1. Simple

  2. Advanced

When using the Simple sync mode the app will:

  1. Delete any versions/components in the Linked project that do not exist in the Master project

  2. Propagate any and all changes made to versions/components in the Master project to the corresponding versions/components in the Linked projects

  3. The create and edit features of the versions/components configuration screen, will be disabled

This means that if you create a project link using sync mode Simple, the app won’t allow you to keep pre-existing versions/components in your Linked project. In addition it won’t allow you to create versions/components in Linked projects.

To keep pre-existing versions/components in a Linked project, you need create a project link using the Advanced sync mode.

Advanced Sync mode

Using the Advanced sync mode gives you more control over the synchronisation of versions/components in Linked projects. It allows you to:

  1. Select the specific events you would like to synchronise to the corresponding versions/components in Linked projects

  2. Create versions/components in Linked projects

So how this sync mode allows us to keep pre-existing versions in

would like to synchronise to linked projects. If you would like to be able to keep manually created components in project A & B please uncheck 'Delete' in the 'Specific Changes' panel. 


The "Delete" event ensures that Version & Component Sync will remove all versions/components in 'Linked Projects' that are not present in the 'Master' project.

Keep in mind that unchecking the “Delete” event means that none of the “Delete” events will be synchronised. The deletion of a component in project A  will no longer result in the deletion of the component in projects B & C. Unfortunately, there is currently no option which will preserve the manually created versions/components whilst also deleting any version/component that does not exist in the Master project. This is a limitation which comes from the fact that the app has no means to determine if a version/component was manually created in the linked project.


Please let me know if you have any additional questions!


Kind regards,
