Syncing Before Switching Devices #101227

https://thebrain.zendesk.com/agent/tickets/101227

Hello TJ,

Thank you for the update. I’m glad both issues are now resolved.

There is not currently a separate “scan for discrepancies” button that compares two devices side by side.

TheBrain does sync automatically, but when you are moving between devices and need the latest changes right away, the safest workflow is to manually trigger sync before you continue working.

A good habit is:

On the device you just worked on:

• Click the sync icon with the two circular arrows.
• Wait for sync to complete.

On the device you are moving to:

• Open TheBrain.
• Click the sync icon first, before making any new changes.
• Wait for sync to complete, then open/check the Brain.

That forces the first device to push its latest changes up to the cloud, and the second device to pull the latest cloud copy down before you start working there.

This is especially helpful when switching quickly between machines, such as the Venom laptop and Surface tablet.

Best regards,

John
