Synchronization of Folders
When you are editing a folder or document info record (DIR) offline in SAP Easy Document Management (see Offline Editing), it is possible to make changes to the same folder or DIR online. For this reason, it is necessary to synchronize the offline and online folders. In the synchronization dialog box, the system displays the actions you need to carry out to edit objects, such as folders and files offline.
Features
When you synchronize the folders, the system displays the information for the offline and online changes. The left side of the screen shows a list of the conflicts 
(red traffic light
)
. On the right side of the screen, the system displays a description of each conflict as well as possible solutions and descriptions.
SAP provides a default solution for each conflict; this solution is highlighted. If you do not select a solution, the system selects one and executes it.
The Summary
shows the number of objects to be synchronized and the time needed to do this.
If you have already generated an offline folder in the system, while previously editing offline, SAP Easy Document Management synchronizes the folders each time you log on. It also displays the conflicts between the offline and online structures and proposes solutions (see Conflicts in Synchronization and Solutions to Synchronization Conflicts).
