Why the sync button is yellow?

[Anonymous]

I detach a central file and make a new central of the detached file. Although it works fine I noticed that the sync button is yellow not green as it use to be.

Is there any problem with that? Look plz on the attached photo

No problem. It is yellow because you are open the file directly. It turns green if you open and create a local file.

It defaults to your last used command for synchronization, use the drop down next to the sync button to change to your preferred option.

"Synchronize Now" is yellow.

"Synchronize and Modify Settings" is green.

I personally discourage using Synchronize Now (yellow lightning bolt) because it does not relinquish every workset (specifically User Created Worksets).

In contrast Synchronize and Modify Settings (green arrows/circle) opens a dialog to review which worksets you've interacted with as well as allowing for a brief comment (useful for troubleshooting, task progress etc.) which are visible for review by anyone on the team by using Show History.
