Overview of the Synchronization Process

---

The synchronization process is initiated by choosing File > Synchronize > Database from the application-level menu.

You need to synchronize regularly to:

Make sure your database is as current as possible.
Make sure the total time to synchronize is as short as possible. The more regularly you synchronize, the shorter the synchronization time will be.
Share updates with colleagues.

NOTE:  Synchronizing is your responsibility. You should do it often enough to make sure that the most up-to-date information resides on your laptop. Each organization has its own guidelines for the synchronization process.
