# Synchronising your data

Upload field changes and download the latest office data in Android OutSmart NEXT.

## Synchronising your data

Synchronising uploads your field changes and downloads office data.

Use it to keep work orders, clients, and materials current on your device.

You can keep working without internet. Sync when a connection is available.

### Upload local changes

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open Sync

Go to **Sync**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Upload changes

Select **Upload local changes**.

This option appears when your device has unsent changes.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Review the result

Watch each upload item complete.

Select **Try again** for any item that fails.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Download remote changes

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Start the download

Select **Download remote changes**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Handle unsent changes

The app warns you when local changes are waiting to upload.

Choose whether to upload before downloading.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Continue working

Wait for the download or select **Continue syncing in the background**.

You can close the screen while a background download continues.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Read sync progress

A spinner means the item is processing.

A green check means it finished. A red cross means it failed.

The screen shows the overall percentage and progress bar. Downloads can show item counts.

Failure messages explain the problem. They can identify required payment or another registered device.

Syncing needs an internet connection. You can keep working offline and sync later.

If you use multiple administrations, the app shows progress for each administration.

The main administration is labelled.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledge.out-smart.com/mobile-app/android-outsmart-next/core-functionalities/synchronising-your-data.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
