Managing file sync issues

The application prompts you when the files you work with in your iManage Drive local directory don't get synced to iManage Work due to permission or other issues. For example, if you try to add a file to a folder in iManage Drive but only have Read Only access rights to the folder in iManage Work. The sync issues dialog box ensures that such changes are not lost as you can select files from the list displayed and copy them to another location, take no action on some or all files listed, or right-click one or more files and select the desired action from the context menu displayed.
