Sync Center

The Sync Center is the plugin’s primary status surface. Open it from the command palette (Engram: Open Sync Center) or the status-bar icon.

What it shows

• Connection status — connected / reconnecting / offline
• Pending push count — number of local changes waiting to upload
• Pending pull count — number of remote changes waiting to apply
• Last sync time — when the last bidirectional sync completed
• Conflicts queue — notes that need a human resolution decision (see Conflicts)
• Recent activity log — last N sync events with timestamps

Manual actions

• Push all — force-flush the local queue
• Pull now — re-fetch from backend
• Resync vault — rebuild the sync manifest from scratch (slow, only use if the manifest is suspected stale or corrupt)
• View manifest — open the per-note sync manifest for debugging

When to use Resync vault

Resync is the nuclear option. It clears the local manifest and re-derives sync state from disk + backend. Use it if:

• The plugin shows persistent “out of sync” warnings that don’t clear with a manual push
• You restored your vault from a backup and want Engram to reconcile
• A bug report from the team explicitly asks for it

A resync does not delete notes. It only rebuilds the bookkeeping that tracks which version of which note lives where.

Next: Conflicts.
