To deploy the changes to the configurations made in the Reconcile, you need to run a Sync. You can do this manually in different ways.
Run a Sync from the Reconcile view
You can launch a Sync directly downstream of a Reconcile.
You have two options:
- Sync now: the Sync starts immediately
- Sync later: you can start it manually from the Sync view, or wait for the scheduled Sync.
Run a Sync manually
You have two options to run a Sync manually:
- a standard Sync to deploy changes
- or an “Export only” Sync to overwrite changes and update the backup.
Export only
This runs only the export stage, not the deploy stage.
Use this option to back up your tenant and reset changes without deploying any changes. This is useful for troubleshooting or resetting the repository to match the tenant's current state.
When to use it
For example, if you make several changes in reconcile, choose to sync later, and then decide you don't want those changes, you can run an “Export only” Sync. This will:
- read all configurations in the tenant
- back them up
- and overwrite the repository with the tenant's current state.
This is also helpful for troubleshooting: If you encounter an issue or error with a configuration change and want to start over, you can run an export only Sync. It will reset the repository to match the current state of the tenant and ensure the backup is up to date.
To run a manual Sync on a single baseline/downstream tenant, click the icon with the two rotating arrows and select one of the two options.
Run a Sync in bulk
You can run a Sync on multiple baseline/downstream tenants simultaneously. Simply select their checkboxes and then click the “SYNC” button at the bottom right of the page.
