Synchronizing Content

After a folder has been added to the managed folders list (see previous page), content can then be synchronized. The
window allows for synchronization of a single file, a single folder, or multiple folders.

Step

1. To start synchronization from the Master to the Member servers, do one of the following:

a.

At a folder, click its white Sync icon to synchronize all files in that folder.

b.

Select one or more folders (using Shift and/or Command keys), then right-click on one of the selected
folders and select Synchronize this folder or Force synchronize this folder from the pop-up menu. The
Force command will synchronize all files within the selected folders, even those with the same Size,
Name and Modification Date.

c.

Select a folder, then right-click on an individual file to synchronize it.

Step

2. The progress of the sync action can be viewed by clicking on the folder currently being synced. This will

display the status of each file within the folder with a progress bar in the content items row, as well as a
white or gray sync icon based on the synchronization state of the file.

Step

3. Once synchronization is complete and the specified item (folder or file) has successfully been transferred

(i.e., copied from the Master to the Members), the sync icon will change to gray (unless there was an error -
refer to

"File Conflicts"

on page 147).

Step

4. To tell all servers to rescan for new content, click the Scan All Servers button or perform a rescan [

 R] on

each Mbox server individually.
