Description Revision Data Synching

Note that all changes made using the R-groups Manager are automatically reflected across your entire application.

  1. If you type a change to the auto-synched R-group description data in your application, the data will be highlighted as out of sync with the R-groups Manager data.


  2. The menu provided while your cursor is within the auto-synched text will allow you to:

    1. Re-Sync from the R-groups Manager, undoing your change

    2. Sync edits to the R-groups Manager, storing your updates and reflecting them across your application

    3. Leave the text as is and ignore synchronization going forward, untagging your text, or

    4. Delete the synched text, removing the text altogether.

Now What?

Before you export for filing, you can use the Consistency Review tool to confirm you've supported your novel compounds in your application.
