3rd Computer Sync

taylorspencephd
Hi! I have a third computer that I use Zotero on. It is syncing, and then asking me to decide on 324 separate discrepancies between it and the remote server. Can you tell me how to have this laptop update from the remote server automatically? The server is the most recent version of my files in THIS case. But sometimes, I go get new documents with this computer and want the remote server to update.

    Gears Menu --> Preferences --> Sync Tab --> Small Reset Tab --> Select "Restore from Server"
    Then perform manual sync.

    Then go back to the reset tab and set it back to "Full Sync..." for the future.

    The reset options don't actually work this way—you have to click Reset right in the pane, and "Full Sync" is itself a reset option, not the normal sync mode. A lot of people are confused by this (based on what precedent I'm not sure—the way Palm OS reset options used to work?), so we probably need to clarify this somehow.
