In plain English
The same data can be updated from both sides, not sent in only one direction. If something changes in one place, that change is copied to the other place, and the reverse is also true. The goal is to keep both sets of data aligned.
In context
Here, “Two-way sync” labels an option for a synchronization mode in which changes made in either of two systems or locations are copied to the other.
- Situation
- Connecting integrations, syncing data, and running imports or exports
- What it communicates
- option labeling a two-direction sync mode
Meaning limits
The term alone does not say when the copying happens or how differences are resolved if both sides are changed.
Examples
“With two-way sync, edits made on the tablet appeared on the desktop, and changes from the desktop showed up on the tablet as well.”
“They switched the shared folder to two-way sync after noticing that updates were being sent in only one direction.”
