Clariti keeps your content up to date on its own. When you publish, update, or delete a post, the Clariti WordPress plugin tells Clariti, and Clariti reads the post again. A nightly check also catches posts that were added or removed. Once in a while one post falls behind, and that is when a manual sync helps.
When to Sync a Post
You updated a post, like adding alt text, a meta description, or new photos, and Clariti still shows the old details or issues.
You added an internal link to this post and the post it points to does not show it under Inbound Links from Other Content yet.
The Last Sync date in the post's info panel is older than your last edit.
A manual sync will not change traffic numbers, which come from Google Analytics and refresh overnight. To recheck whether links work, use Retest Links instead. See Understanding Links: Internal, Inbound, External, and Broken.
How to Sync a Post
1. Open the post in Clariti.
2. Click Quick Actions at the top of the page, next to Back (it reads Actions on smaller screens), or press Opt + A on a Mac or Alt + A on Windows.
3. Choose Sync Content.
4. In the Confirm Sync Content window, click Continue.
What Happens Next
The window closes and a message reads Syncing "Your Post Title"...
Clariti reads the post from WordPress again: its title, dates, author, categories, tags, and comment count, plus the page itself, including images, alt text, links, headings, meta description, and structured data.
It also refreshes the inbound links of any posts this one links to.
Last Sync in the info panel shows Syncing... and then today's date.
When it finishes, you will see Sync completed for "Your Post Title".
If the Sync Fails
A failed sync shows Sync failed for "Your Post Title": followed by the reason. Here is what to try:
1. Check that the plugin is connected. The site owner can open Settings, find the WordPress card, and choose Test Connection from its menu. See Troubleshooting the Clariti Plugin Connection.
2. Make sure the post is published. Clariti does not sync drafts.
3. If you use Cloudflare or a security plugin, make sure it is not blocking Clariti. See How to Set Up Cloudflare to Work with Clariti.
4. Wait a few minutes and try again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to sync every time I update a post?
No. The plugin handles updates automatically. Manual sync is for the occasional post that falls behind.
Will syncing update my traffic numbers?
No. Traffic comes from Google Analytics and refreshes overnight. Last Sync refers to the post's content.
Can I sync all my posts at once?
Not from your account. If many posts look out of date, the plugin connection is the usual cause, so start with Troubleshooting the Clariti Plugin Connection, and email us if that does not solve it.
Why does Clariti still show a broken link I fixed?
If you removed or changed the link in the post, sync the post. If you fixed the page the link points to, use Quick Actions > Retest Links.
