Sync history and the cloud library view
JustZix cloud sync used to work quietly in the background — it pushed changes and pulled them onto other devices, but never showed exactly what it had done. Recent versions changed that: the Status tab in the sync panel now has a sync history, a view of the library on your account and a full-resync button. This post shows how to use them.
Where to find it
Open the „Cloud sync” panel and switch to the Status tab. Below the list of active sessions you will see two new sections: Cloud library and Sync history.
Cloud library
This section shows how many folders, groups, rule sets, actions, bars and windows are currently synced to your account. The numbers are counted the same way as on the Dashboard — only entities reachable in the tree, no orphans. That gives you a simple comparison: the same numbers as on the Dashboard mean your local library and the account are in agreement. The counters refresh when you open the panel and after a manual sync.
Sync history
The list shows the last 10 syncs, and a „Show full history” button opens a window with up to 100 entries. Each entry is a readable card: the time, the initiating device, the source devices of pulled changes, a numeric summary (sent / pulled / deleted) and the state of the library after the sync.
Concrete changes, not just numbers
An entry does not stop at numbers — it expands a list of the actual changes: each item with a + (added), ~ (changed) or − (removed) symbol and a ↑ (pushed) or ↓ (pulled) direction. Repeated changes are grouped with a ×N counter, so ten updated actions become one readable row instead of ten identical ones.
Full resync with the account
Sometimes an entity gets stuck locally — it was created, but its upload never went through. A normal sync cycle will not catch it, because it only enqueues fresh changes and a stuck entity does not change. The „Full resync with account” button solves this both ways: it first pulls the whole library from the account, then sends the local entities the account is missing. It is non-destructive — it neither revives deleted items nor overwrites fresher versions.
When to use it
Day to day you never need to look here — sync runs on its own. But when you want to confirm a change reached another device, or check why the numbers do not add up, the Status tab gives you full insight instead of guesswork.
Install JustZix, turn on sync with a single key and keep your library under control on every device.
