Sync summary reports typologies

  • Last update on September 3rd, 2024

Sync Summary reports, also referred to as markdowns,  document the changes made to a tenant's configurations during a sync process and are categorized into three types:

Export

Every time a Sync runs, a backup is created. This is the generated report for the backup.

The “Export” reports provide your tenant's history of tracked changes. Reports get generated each time Simeon extracts the latest configurations from the various Microsoft portals, which occurs once per day by default, and when you run a manual Sync.

You can see the detailed report by expanding each row by clicking the arrow.
