Reread PC Data

This will re-read all records (according to the sync settings) from the PC database, updating the records on the sync target. If there are records on the sync target that are different from the PC database, those records will be overwritten with the PC data. Does not delete data from the device, so if there are more records on the sync target than the PC, those records are preserved. The example below uses Outlook and Android, but these names will change based on your selected database and handheld device.

1. Open CompanionLink and click Settings on the left.

2. Click Advanced in the bottom left.

3. Find the Applications tab at the top.

4. Put a check in the Reread box for the selected database in the bottom left.

• Please note that rereading is a troubleshooting step. Rereads do not have to be enabled each time in order to sync.
