Dreamweaver and Creative Cloud
Last updated 6/3/2015
Scenario 1
You change the Preferences on the first machine and sync those changes with the cloud. On the second machine too,
you change the Preferences. Then, when you click:
Sync Cloud
Changes to Preferences on the first machine are synchronized with the second machine. The changes you
made on the second machine are lost.
Sync Local
Changes to Preferences on the second machine are retained and are also synchronized with the cloud. The
next time you synchronize the first machine and choose Sync Cloud, these changes are reflected on the first machine.
Scenario 2
Sync Cloud
Changes to site settings on the first machine are ‘added’ to the settings on the second machine.
Sync Local
Changes on the second machine are retained and are synchronized with the cloud. The next time you
synchronize the first machine and choose Sync Cloud, the new site gets added to the settings on the first machine.
Note: Any settings in Preferences that you change while the synchronization is in progress do not take effect.
