When you select Synchronize from the Toolbar, File menu, or Context Menu, the Synchronization Options window will appear. This window allows you to specify how you want the folders to be synchronized by selecting a synchronization method from a list.

 

Synchronization Method

 

This list contains methods you can choose from to instruct the program how you want to synchronize the two folders. Each method defines actions that the program should take on the items in the folders.

As you select the synchronization methods from the drop-down list, an explanation of the method appears beneath the selected option. You may select from one of twelve predefined methods or you can create your own custom synchronization method.

 

How to define a custom synchronization method?

2.Click on the Custom synchronization definition link to bring up a window where you can define the behaviors you want.
