Android "sync now" button syncing what?

[janndk 492]

Anybody know what's the idea behind the "sync now" button (android app)? It clearly doesn't do full syncing - so what is actually getting synced and what's not?

When I compare it with iOS, and assuming we are talking about the same function (app settings - synchronization - sync now), it does 2 things:

Force the immediate sync of all changed, not yet synced notes - the ones with a green triangle -  with the server.

Call any not yet synced content from the server and update the local database with it.

Even when it says "sync done" some: 
- task
- markings in checklists
- annotation in images
are not synced. But they sync later in normal slow tempo 🤔
