Manual Sync Instructions

With a manual sync, you are in control of when your contacts are synced, and you will have the opportunity to override how each contact is synced before the sync is executed. I recommend performing a manual sync during your initial sync. After your initial sync, you may want to consider automatic syncing.

1. From the Contacts Sync menu bar, go to "Sync," and choose from one of the following sync types:
   
   • "2-way Sync"
   • Syncs contacts in both directions, updating both your Mac and Google.
   • "Gmail Contacts -> Mac"
   • Updates your Mac contacts with the latest data from your Gmail contacts
   • "Mac Contacts -> Gmail"
   • Updates your Gmail contacts with the latest data from your Mac contacts
   • "Manual Sync"
   • Sync selected contacts only
2. Once you initiate the sync, your Gmail contacts will be fetched and you will be given the opportunity to confirm how each contact is synced. 
3. Press "Confirm" to proceed with the sync.
