What is Sync Automatically ?

[RgaDawg 35]

Playing dumb here.. Looked around quite a bit, the mouse-over for this setting doesn't really say much.. -- Check feature if you want EN to sync "automatically."  -- So, what exactly is "automatically." Searched forums, manuals, etc. With this set to "automatically" it took EN about 5 minutes to sync after an updated note. Also, have been getting bunch of crashes. Grateful that EN seems to keep some kind of changes locally even though crashes before an update to server. It would be quite an annoyance if EN lost all work in a note because of a crash. The data seems to still be there, with a sync needed, after I restore EN. Is this correct?

Thanks

Which version of the Windows program are you using? My sync options look different, but I'm still on a much older version.

Automatically is determined by the server. It's a setting our server folks tweak to balance between save-as-fast-as-possible and don't-overload-the-server-with-requests. You can always force a sync by clicking the Sync button even if automatically is set.

The F9 key also does a sync, if you are a keyboarder...
