Synchronize Entries

The Synchronize function in the Tools tab can be used to compare two databases and update them.

First, you have to open both databases in Password Depot. Afterwards, select Tools → Synchronize to start the synchronization assistant. You will see an overview of all available databases with information on the storage location ("Storage"), the date of last modification ("Modified") and the database size ("Size"). Choose the databases you would like to synchronize and click Select.

You will now see an overview of all differences. On the right-hand side, you will see the file with which you are synchronizing your current file. On the left-hand side, you will see your current database.

The entries are divided into three categories:

  • Not existing items
  • Different items
  • Identical items

The modification date will be displayed next to each modified entry to help you decide which version to use in which database in the future. To view the differences in more detail, right-click an entry and select View differences.

In the middle, you can define what to do with the entries. To do so, click on the action field and select an option from the drop-down menu. Here, you can adopt changes from either database into the other. Furthermore, you can delete entries. In the bottom left, if applicable, you can see Recommended actions.

Lastly, click Synchronize to finish.
