Synchronization between Windows & Palm OS

Once a new outline has been created on the Palm device or the desktop it is ready to be synchronized.  During the first synchronization after the outline is created, the Bonsai conduit will create a matching outline on the other platform.  During subsequent synchronizations the conduit will synchronize changes from both outlines into the other.

Synchronization is performed at the item attribute level.  For example, if you make a change to the text of one item on the desktop, and check-off the same item as completed on the Palm device, both changes will be propagated to the other platform.

If you change the same attribute on both platforms (e.g., modify the same text) the conduit will display a dialog box during synchronization to alert you to the conflict.

The desktop application Outline Manager window provides a list all the outlines configured to synchronize for a given HotSync User.  Use the HotSync User command on the File menu to switch users if you synchronize more than one handheld at your desktop.
