Sync allows you to:
Make changes within Content Blocks in one document and easily transfer the changes into the companion Content Blocks in another document.
Because:
When you run a Sync, LeaderGuide Pro will update the content in every Content Block of the type(s) you have requested
So LeaderGuide Pro will tell you if you have a mismatch as you start the sync process.
For example, it will tell you that you have 15 Key Points blocks in your Facilitator Guide and 17 in your Participant Guide
But it won’t be able to tell you exactly where the mismatch is – you will need to find it.
Use the Go To function on the LGPro ribbon to efficiently go from one specific type of Content Block to the next occurrence of that block type
Sync requires a one for one relationship
Between the Content Blocks in your Facilitator Guide and the companion Content Blocks in your Participant Guide.
For Example:
If you extracted Key Points blocks and you want to Sync content updates and/or page number references for Key Points blocks
Then LeaderGuide Pro will count the number of Key Points blocks in your Facilitator Guide & your Participant Guide
And for the Sync to work as expected, both guidebooks need to have the same number of Key Points blocks
To Sync Content
Click Special in the Controls group on the LGPro ribbon
In the dropdown menu:
Select the option to Sync Guidebook Blocks (Participant and Facilitator)
Next you will see the Sync Guidebook Blocks dialog box
The white box on the left will list all the open Word documents on your computer.
If you don’t see the document you need you can click Browse … BUT
We recommend that you open the documents you need before you begin this process
Because it is important to make sure you are working with the correct documents
In the white box:
Highlight the Source document (the one with the changes)
Then click Source
Highlight the Destination document (the one to update)
Then click Destination
After designating your Source and Destination documents:
Click OK
After clicking OK you will see this dialog box
In the white box on the left
Check the boxes next to the Content Block types with content to Sync
As you select a Content Block to Sync
You will see a visual of the Content Block icon to help verify you are selecting the block you want.
Click OK to initiate the Sync.
After you click OK to continue:
You will be given the option to have LeaderGuide Pro make a backup copy of your destination document
Choose Yes or No
We recommend you make copies of both documents BEFORE you begin the Sync process
After making your selection, the Sync will take place
When the Sync is complete:
You will see a message like this
