## Manual synchronisation
You can synchronise local changes by tapping the sync button in the map window. The sync button will stop rotating once the synchronisation process is finished and the **Successfully synchronised** message will appear at the top of the window.

Here, you will see the overview of your local changes.

## Automatic synchronisation
To allow automatic synchronisation in <MobileAppName />, navigate to [**Settings**](../mobile-app-ui/#settings) and toggle on **Automatically sync changes**.
You can use automatic synchronisation to keep your project up to date automatically, without the need to press a button. Changes in the project will be synchronised periodically during the survey, every time the project is opened and also when the app is reopened from the background.

As changes will be done during the survey, such as adding new features or changing field values, the synchronisation will start automatically. The sync button will indicate that synchronisation is in progress and once it is done, the **Successfully synchronised** message will appear.

If changes can not be synchronised automatically, e.g. when internet connection is lost during the survey, the changes need to be synchronised manually after reconnecting to the internet.
