In Advanced Channel, you can choose to sync your advanced channel with two sync modes:
-
Automatic Syncing
Automatic Syncing is on by default, so that changes made to an advanced channel are automatically, and immediately synced to the devices. 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.
