Find synchronized items

With synchronization, you can maintain a connection between reused items and containers, monitoring them for differences and updating any that are out of sync.

  1. Use one of these methods to find synchronized items:

    • Explorer Tree — Select an item with a blue dot, which indicates that an item was synchronized.

      The Explorer Tree includes two highlighted items that have a blue dot to indicate they are synchronized.
    • Sync items window — Use one of these methods to open the Sync items window:

      • Select the Project drop-down menu, then select Sync items.

        The Sync items option is highlighted in the Project drop-down list.
      • Select any item in the Explorer Tree, then select View synched items from the menu.

        The View synced items option is highlighted in the drop-down list for an item in the Project tree.

        There you can select any item or container on the left to see which other items have the same global ID.

      • Single Item View — Select the Synchronized items widget to open a bottom panel, which displays all items currently synchronized with this item.

        The synchronized items widget.
        The bottom panel in Single Item View shows the Connect Items action highlighted in the top toolbar.
  2. (Optional) Perform any of the following actions: synchronize items, break synchronization, or connect items.
