Info

Sync requires at least two environments. If environments are already identical, you'll see "Environments are already in sync. Nothing to do."

Change Types#

You can selectively apply each type of change:

Additions — Keys in source but not in destination
Updates — Keys with different values (shows before → after)
Removals — Keys in destination but not in source

Error

Sync can delete keys. Review removals carefully before confirming. This action is destructive and cannot be undone.
