Synchronize It! Quick Start

Working with Synchronize It! is pretty much straightforward, especially when doing common tasks.

The central of your synchronization work in Synchronize It! will be Start Dialog, where you can specify what you want to do. At first sight it may seem a bit cluttered with controls, however with time you will appreciate its ability to show all settings on single screen, so you can do what you need without messing with multiple windows.

Start Dialog will be opened for you after application start, and is always accessible with a single click () or keystroke (F2).

Answer yourself these questions, filling appropriate fields in Start Dialog:

1. What do you want to synchronize?
