When you synchronize, all existing cards are updated and new cards are added to your Cards List and Address Book. In Address Book, existing cards are updated and new cards are added to the corresponding AccountEdge group: [company file name] - Customer, [company file name] - Vendor, [company file name] - Employee or [company file name] - Personal. These Address Book groups are created automatically for each company file the first time you synchronize.

Note: Both active and inactive cards are included when you Sync Cards.

Note:  The Sync Cards feature doesn't remove deleted cards

We strongly recommend you make a backup copy of your company file before synchronizing. To do so, select the Back Up button. See To make a backup for more information.
