Hi all,

Bellow you can see the "Understand Sync Services" page in the "almost
ready" GTG user documentation in Mallard. What I need is the check-up and
fill-in of the missing information on the page.

First of all explain the difference between the read-only, import and full
sync; and as a second issue state the type of sync for each service in GTG.
Last but not least, check the wording of the rest of the text in case there
is something inaccurate or improvable.

Luca, since you are the sync-wizard around here and most of these backends
are your babies, please check this out. Thanks!


Cheers,
Radina

Understand Sync Services

Sync Services allow GTG to synchronize (meaning to have access or to
import) tasks, notes or bugs from other sites or services like
Launchpad or Remember
the Milk.

There are different types of synchronization:

   -

   Read-only synchronization: records the changes in task state from the
   originating service in GTG but not the reverse. This means that if you open
   one of the imported tasks and change the title, description or tags your
   changes will be lost when the associated task is modified on the
   originating service. You are free to set any other field (start/due dates,
   subtasks...) as for those field your changes will be preserved. This is
   useful to add personal annotations to imported tasks.
   -

   Import synchronization
   -

   Full synchronization

To enable or disable GTG Sync Services in the main menu go to Edit ▸ Setup
Sync Services.

List of available sync services in GTG:
