About Synchronization Status

When you synchronize a project or a drawing with its AEC project standards, the styles and display settings in the project drawings are compared with the versions in the standards drawings. If the version of the style or display setting in the project drawing is not identical to the version in the standards drawing, you can choose from several possible actions regarding the style or display setting.

Synchronization dialog box

Status	Description	Action
Current standard version	The style or display setting in the project drawing is identical to the version in the project standards drawing.	No action required. The object is in synch with the standard.
Older version of standard style or display setting	The style or display setting in a project drawing is an older version than the style in the project standards drawing. Note: The version GUID is used to determine which version is more current.	You can choose from these actions: Update from Standard: this copies the version from the project standards drawing to the project drawing. The object in the project drawing is overwritten. Do not Update: The style or display setting is skipped for this synchronization. The next time the drawing is synchronized, it will display as inconsistent with the standards again. Ignore: The style or display settings is skipped now and for future synchronizations. Note: If you choose this option, you may choose to display ignored objects during each synchronization.
Nonstandard (Newer) Version of standard style or display setting	The style or display setting in the project drawing is a version not found in the project standards drawing’s version history.
Not standardized style or display setting	The style or display setting in the project drawing is not present in the project standards drawings.	Skip: The not standardized object is skipped for this synchronization. The next time the project is synchronized, it will display as not standardized again. Ignore: The not standardized object is skipped now and for future synchronizations. Note: If you choose this option, you may choose to display ignored objects during each synchronization.
