More Info >>

• Working Online

  Working online connects to the parent file. In an online state, changes are sent or received immediately.

• Working Offline

  Work offline to disconnect from the parent file. In an offline state, no changes are sent or received with all changes saved locally until a connection to the parent file is established.

• Consolidations With SmartSync

  Consolidation can either be internal or external. Internal consolidations are handled by SmartSync in the same way as any typical client file. For external consolidations, ensure the parent and subsidiary client files are stored on a server.
