Synced Rows

What Are Synced Rows?

Synced rows are a type of saved row that updates across all instances when modified. For example, if you change a header in one newsletter, it updates in all newsletters where that synced row is used. The workflow for creating a synced row is the same as that for a standard row, but you'll have an option to specify the row type.

Identifying Synced Rows

Easy to spot both on the stage and in the sidebar through various indicators:

  • Stage: Labels and unique Edit icons indicate synced rows.

  • Sidebar: Synced rows are listed with a specific symbol for quick identification.

  • Editing Limitations: Synced rows are locked; editing is done via the row builder only.

Collaboration Guidelines

  • Commenting: Only available at the row level because individual blocks within are locked.

  • Co-editing: Changes to synced rows won't appear in real-time during co-editing. Exit and re-enter the session to view updates. Comment to notify others of the change.

Switching to and from Synced Rows

  • Converting: Standard rows with comments become unclickable at the block level when turned into synced rows.

  • Unsyncing: Create standalone versions of synced rows when needed. This option appears when you attempt to edit a synced row. Unsyncing will not auto-save the new row; you'll need to save it separately.

Considerations

  • Notifications: Alert co-editors of changes to synced rows as these are not real-time updates.

  • Previous Comments: Become unclickable but viewable at the row level.

  • Unsyncing: Use this option when one instance of a row should not reflect changes made to the synced version.
