Understanding your Syncing Options
We've enhanced your control over document synchronization by adding several flexible syncing options. These allow you to customize how and when your changes are saved to your third-party cloud storage services like Google Drive, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Dropbox.
1. Manual Sync
To immediately save your latest changes to your cloud documents, simply click the Sync Document now button. This ensures your work is instantly backed up and accessible from any device.
2. Adjust sync frequency
To adjust the sync frequency for a particular document:
- Open the document.
- Locate the sync settings (usually an icon or menu option related to syncing).
- Choose your desired sync interval.
Important: Changes made here will only apply to that specific document and its associated third-party drive.
If you want to apply a consistent sync frequency to all documents opened with a specific third-party drive:
- Open any document from that third-party drive.
- Locate the sync settings (usually an icon or menu option related to syncing).
- Choose your desired sync interval.
- Click the triple-dot menu.
- Select "Set as global default."
This will apply your chosen sync frequency as the default for documents opened from that drive. If you’d like to review or change the global default sync frequency for each of your connected third-party drives, you can do so under App Settings > Document Sync Settings.
3. Turn Auto-Sync Off
For times when you prefer not to automatically sync your changes (e.g., working offline or making experimental edit), you have the option to turn off auto-sync. Simply toggle this feature off in the settings, and your changes will only be saved locally until you re-enable it or manually sync.
