Settings --> Accounts --> Sign Out

This will remove all pocket articles from kobo but after login it will sync again.
I wonder if there's a way to backup articles from some folder so to put them back again in the same location,removing the need to re-sync everything again...?

The articles are stored in a directory inside the .kobo directory. But, there is also a reference to them in the database. Backing up and restoring the directory might work but the database has to be updated to see them. Or at the next sync, the database records will be created, but I suspect the articles will be downloaded again.

I tried to re-sync but it seems it only auto downloads just a few articles and from there on you have to do it manually. Is this the only way to download all pocket saved articles to Kobo?
Thanks!

I think in the settings you can change the number of downloaded articles (I think I set it to 50). When you have a backlog it isn't easy to have them all at once, but now that your device is linked to Pocket every new saved article should find its way to your Kobo just fine

Hi samhy.

Settings -> Library Settings -> Article Management

This was the only setting I found to control downloaded pocket articles but it doesn't allow any kind of control over number of downloads.

I imagined that maybe some config file would allow to access and change that 50 limit setting. I searched inside some config files, found nothing but I may be searching wrong...

You're right LuisG. I guess it was in a previous firmware, something like a 2.x version. I haven't been using the Pocket function lately so my explanation wasn't up to date. Sorry for that
