Sync modes for a sign
In Signs, you can choose to sync your sign with two sync modes:
Automatic Syncing
Automatic Syncing is on by default, so that changes made to a sign are automatically, and immediately synced to the players. This may not be ideal in situations where a lot of testing in rapid succession is conducted, or where network utilization is concerned.
Manual Syncing
When Manual Syncing is enabled (Automatic Syncing OFF), dynamic content and data (e.g. weather, RSS, external content) will not be updated until the next scheduled (or forced) sync. Tag rules will also be disabled until you switch back to automatic syncing.
