What does ‘resyncing gallery slides in Copilot’ mean?
The option to resync gallery slides in Copilot is a feature for syndicated galleries only.
When a story is syndicated on Encore, the syndication that is created is a ‘snapshot’ in time of the original story. The resync feature in Copilot enables brands to resync syndicated content to pull in newly published gallery slides from the original.
WORKFLOW EXAMPLE:
What does gallery slides mean?
Gallery slides in Coplit can include: Photos, CNE Videos, Products, Clips, Cookbooks and Hotels.
All of the above can be resynced using the resync feature.
When will I be able to use the resync feature?
The resync feature will only show in Copilot when new gallery slides have been published on the original gallery.
When this happens, a banner will appear at the top of the syndicated gallery. Click the ‘Resync gallery Slides’ button. See screenshot below.
What happens when I click the ‘Resync gallery slides’ button?
The button will change to say ‘In Progress’.
Typically it will take a few seconds to resync up to 30 gallery slides.
However, the more slides there are to be resynced, the longer it will take for the resync to complete.
My syndicated gallery is in draft status. Can I still resync?
Yes. If new gallery slides have been published on the original since you first syndicated, it will be possible to resync.
Syndicated galleries will be able to resync when they are in ‘Draft’ or ‘Published’ or ‘Scheduled' status.
What happens in the following scenario: I syndicate an original gallery that has 10 gallery slides. Then edits are made to the 10 gallery slides on the original. Those edits are published. They also publish two new gallery slides on the original. If I resync, what will happen to my syndicated gallery?
The two newly published gallery slides will be resynced. All other edits that were applied to the original gallery slides will be ignored.
When I have resynced my gallery, will the new gallery slides auto publish?
No. The new gallery slides will be in draft status.
Will the gallery slide captions be translated?
No.
If the gallery slides are images, will they have image credits and alt text?
Yes. However, the text will not be translated.
Will the resyncing feature be available if I syndicate the original gallery when it’s a Shared Draft?
Yes.
Will the resync feature be available for older galleries?
The resync feature will only be available if the original gallery was published after 19 April 2023 – this is the date that the resync feature was launched.
Is there a training video?
Yes. Here is the training video.
