📄️ Debugging uSync
There may come a time when uSync isn't doing what you expect it to do ☹. This is a sad time for us all, we want to stop that from happening, but first we need to work out what is wrong.
📄️ Turn Off Content Edition
Disable Content Saving to Disk
📄️ Dictionary Handler
Change the DictionaryHandler's Group
📄️ Upgrading uSync
You can upgrade uSync by entering dotnet add package uSync into the commandline, just like downloading it.
📄️ Using Guid File Names
When uSync saves an exported item to disk, it will use the name or alias of the item as the file name by default.
📄️ Flat File Structure
By default, uSync will store all of the items of the same 'type' (e.g DataTypes) in a flat folder structure.
📄️ Background Notifications
The Background Notifications setting is in appsettings.json
📄️ FirstBoot 🥇🥾
uSync FirstBoot is designed to get you up and going with an Umbraco site, easily and with minimal interaction.
📄️ uSync Roots 🌳
Starting from Umbraco 16, child sites put their files in v16, instead of v9. Read our Folder Changes page for more info.
📄️ History
This option is not yet available in version 16.
📄️ uSync.Once / Stop Files
uSync.once and uSync.stop are special files that you can use on your deployments to control how uSync imports will run at startup.
📄️ Importing/Exporting Options
If you go to Settings --> uSync you can Import or Export your Settings, your Content, or Everything. This can be done by clicking the Import and Export buttons. Sometimes more specific versions of these actions are nessacery, and so you are presented with options.
📄️ Webhooks
This page is for triggering webhooks. If you want to serialize your webhooks, you will need to use the webhook handler.
📄️ uSync Performance Tuning
We work hard to make uSync's impact on your site as small as possible, but as your site gets larger some of the work uSync has to do to keep the sync folders in order will increase.
📄️ Exclude/Include Content
Excluding and Including are both useful tools to make sure uSync only syncs the content you need it to.
📄️ v16 Folder Changes
As of Umbraco 16, the usync/v9folder has been replaced with the usync/v16 folder.
