Sync Catalog

To sync content from a content provider to the Course Catalog:

  1. Click the Sync button next to the integration.
  2. A syncing icon displays to alert the administrator that the sync has begun.
  3. After the sync has completed, a notification displays across the top of the page, indicating whether the sync was successful or unsuccessful.

Note: The scheduler which runs automatically to sync content on a regular basis will continue to run normally following this enhancement. The Sync Catalog page allows administrators to sync the catalog manually on demand in addition to the regularly scheduled syncs.
