What is recorded?

How Observation Works

SyncNow records the full vocabulary of changes it sees on your project - not just that "something changed."

The events it captures

  • Create - a new file appears.
  • Modify - an existing file's contents change.
  • Delete - a file is removed.
  • Rename - a file gets a new name.
  • Move - a file shifts to a different folder.
  • Copy - a file is duplicated.
  • Restore - a file comes back.

How it tells them apart

SyncNow compares the current server listing against its last snapshot. By matching files and their fingerprints, it can distinguish a true delete-and-create from a simple rename or move, so the timeline reads like a clear story rather than noise.

Good to know

Each recorded event is an observation, never an action - SyncNow is read-only, so logging a delete does not mean SyncNow deleted anything. It simply noticed and wrote it down on the shared timeline.
