Live Sync

Introduction

See changes in data without the need to refresh a page. Turn on the live server communication system to enjoy brand-new features. With the live sync, data is instantly updated when users update tasks.

Remote work or global planning sessions always require an up-to-date data set. Enable this feature and changes to your tasks made by other team members will be instantly visible. When one of the task's fields is updated, the change will be indicated by highlighting the updated field value presented in the Gantt's task lists and the task moved accordingly if start/end date synchronized fields are updated.
