Confused and Alone :(

Calibre: 3.21
Goodreads Sync: v1.12.1 installed through calibre's plugin browser.

I find this plugin confusing: There doesn't seem to be any official documentation as to how this is setup.

This is the only seemingly-complete setup doc that I have found (circa 2013): https://dearauthor.com/ebooks/goodre...alibre/process

So... All I want to do is sync books and columns (both directions) 1-to-1 between Calibre and Goodreads.

* I successfully uploaded my Calibre library to Goodreads with a CVS file.
* Goodreads Sync is linked to my Goodreads account.
* I have assigned Custom Columns to hold the Goodreads data.
* Because I already assigned custom columns, I don't think I would have a use for action rules. I realize they do allow conversion of data (if "xyz" then display "Y") but I don't care about that right now.

I select a book, select Goodreads > LinkedBook > DownloadTagsFromShelves but the status-bar says "No books required tags updating" however my custom columns remain blank.

I'm expecting my column "GR Shelf" to populate (or any column really) and say "read" (because when uploading that were it was auto-assigned to). This is a test to ensure I can change the "shelf" and sync it back to Goodreads.
