Sync allows you to:

  • Add Participant Guide page number references into the Facilitator Guide based on companion Content Block locations

  • You can add page numbers for all extracted Content Blocks or only the Content Block types you select

  • Participant Guide page number references will appear below the icon in the companion Content Blocks in the Facilitator Guide

PG Page Number under Icon

Syncing page number references 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 page number references for Key Points blocks

    • LeaderGuide Pro will count the number of Key Points blocks in your Facilitator Guide & your Participant Guide

    • For the Sync to work as expected, both guidebooks need to have the same number of Key Points blocks

Because:

  • When you run a page number Sync, LeaderGuide Pro will add page number references into 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

To Sync Page Number references

To begin:

  • 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 have the documents you need open
