Sessions and Projects

What is Session?


If you you often compare 2 specific folders (such as Work and Backup folders) there is no need to select it manually again and again. Synchronize It! can help you by saving all comparison settings into Session, so you can quickly pickup and reuse it later.
Thus Session is just a named combination of:

  • Source and target objects to compare (folder, archives, etc);
  • File mask to use;
  • All additional settings - subfolders mask, comparison rule, advanced filters etc.;
  • Synchronization Action to use.

Once configured, you can easily recall Session from the list or use command line interface to automate your task.

What is Project?


If your common task include more than single pair of folders to compare, you can combine several Sessions into Project - this will allow you to run multiple Sessions with single call. One Session can be included in several Projects.
