Sync 2 Libraries with freefilesync Question

[KWhytte]

I have
a "MasterCopyFolder" and
a "SyncCopyFolder"
in 2 different external drives.

I regularly clean and update the "MasterCopyFolder"
e.g.: add & remove some books/files, combine different file formats, remove comments etc

How can I update the "SyncCopyFolder" with freefilesync?

I suppose
-I start with dragging and dropping the "MasterCopyFolder" on the left
- dragging and dropping the "SyncCopyFolder" on the right
- Click Compare
-Synchronise ( update selected?)
- what are the next cautionary steps please???

thanking you in advance

Yep. Those are the steps. Just make sure you use Mirror mode in FreeFileSync. The mode used should be shown in the Synchronize button.

would you please confirm the following steps before I go ahead

all the best

Yep. That's it. Mind, when not doing batch jobs, I'd usually give the results of the compare a skim to make sure nothing is getting overwritten that shouldn't be.
