Sync options window

When viewed from Compare View, the Sync Options window is divided into top and bottom sections, which correspond to the left and right columns in Compare View, respectively. The functionality is the same for each section.

When you select the Basic tab in the top right corner, you can view and select these options:

Basic options
Handle relationships	Don't synchronize relationships. Include relationships from the source selection Include related items and mirror relationships
Options as needed	Synchronize all tags, attachments, and links. When synchronizing related items that don't exist in the destination project, all fields, tags, attachments, and links are reused. Fields that aren't applicable to the destination project are set to defaults. Only links to attachments are synchronized, not the attachments themselves. Add a relationship from the original item
Default destination uses the specified target destination	Reused items are placed in the destination project based on the hierarchy of the source project. If a matching location isn't found, the system automatically creates components, sets, and folders in the destination project as needed.

When you select the Advanced tab in the top right corner, you can view and select these options:

Advanced options
Display and modify existing reuse rules or add new ones	Reuse rules shown are filtered by item type. Deselect Only show applicable to display all reuse rules. Select Add rule to add a new rule to the items selected in this view.
Select a destination	Select Manually select location(s) for reused item(s) to select a specific destination for your synced items. Select Synchronize to sync all fields specified in the reuse rules in the Sync Options window. This also removes all attachments, tags, links, and relationships if selected. When synchronizing related items that don't exist in the destination project, all fields, tags, attachments, and links follow the sync option that's applied to the view (fields that aren't applicable to the destination project are set to defaults).
