Manual Sync Operations

Starting a Sync

1. Navigate to Dashboard (if not already there)

2. Choose what to sync:

   • Individual Entity: Click "Incremental" or "Full" next to Products, Customers, Brands, or Categories
   • All Entities: Click "Incremental All" or "Full All" at the bottom

3. Wait for confirmation

   • The button will change to show "Syncing..." status
   • Progress will appear in the Live Sync Monitor

Sync Options Explained

Incremental Sync

• What it does: Only syncs items that have changed since the last sync
• When to use: Regular updates, daily syncs, when you want speed
• Benefits: Faster, less load on systems, only updates what's needed
• Example: If 100 products changed out of 10,000, only those 100 are synced

Full Sync

• What it does: Syncs ALL items, regardless of when they were last updated
• When to use: Initial setup, after major changes, when you want to ensure everything is synced
• Benefits: Complete synchronization, catches any missed updates
• Example: All 10,000 products are checked and synced

Running Multiple Syncs

You can run multiple entity syncs simultaneously:

1. Start a sync for Products
2. While Products is syncing, start a sync for Brands
3. Both will run in parallel
4. Each will show its own progress in the Active Syncs panel

Best Practice: For large datasets, sync one entity at a time to avoid overwhelming the system.
