This section describes how to manually synchronize pages to specific destinations.
While automatic synchronization handles routine data transfers between channels, there are times when it is need to immediately push specific pages to one or more destinations. Using the manual synchronization feature gives direct control over when and where pages are synchronized.
Info: Manual synchronization bypasses approval status and allows syncing to any destination, including those disabled for automatic synchronization.

After selecting a sync target, a confirmation dialog asks if you want to proceed with syncing the selected pages. Once confirmed:
Success: A notification confirms all the selected pages were synced successfully.
