# Auto-sync Knowledge Sources

> Keep connected Knowledge sources up to date on a schedule.

Auto-sync checks an imported source on a schedule and updates its existing Knowledge when the source changes. It does not create a duplicate.

Auto-sync is off until you turn it on.

## Before You Start

* You need permission to manage the Knowledge Base.
* Files uploaded directly from your computer, such as PDFs or CSVs, do not support auto-sync. Import the file from Google Drive if you want Conduit to check it on a schedule.
* If Conduit says a Google Drive file or link must be re-imported, re-import it before turning on auto-sync.

## Supported Sources

| Source           | What Conduit refreshes           |
| ---------------- | -------------------------------- |
| **Notion**       | Imported pages and databases     |
| **Airtable**     | Imported tables                  |
| **Google Drive** | Imported files                   |
| **Link**         | Imported web pages               |
| **PMS**          | Knowledge from the connected PMS |

Notion, Airtable, Google Drive, and PMS sources can sync **Daily**, **Weekly**, **Every 2 weeks**, or **Monthly**. Links can sync **Weekly**, **Every 2 weeks**, or **Monthly**.

## Turn On Auto-sync

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Sources">
    Click **Knowledge** in the main sidebar, then click **Sources** at the
    bottom of the Knowledge sidebar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a source">
    Open the page for the source you want to schedule.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the schedule">
    Open the three-dot menu for the source, choose **Set auto-sync**, then
    choose an available schedule.
  </Step>
</Steps>

For PMS Knowledge, the schedule applies to the whole integration. Finding and importing new PMS listings is a separate action under **Check for new listings**.

<Note>
  Auto-sync checks sources at intervals, not at a fixed time. Choosing a
  schedule does not sync immediately. To check the source immediately, use its
  manual sync action, such as **Resync**, **Sync now**, or **Sync knowledge**.
  Connected source rows show when the next sync is expected.
</Note>

## Set a Schedule for Multiple Sources

On a Notion, Airtable, or Google Drive source page, select sources before using **Set auto-sync** to change only those sources. If you do not select any sources, the schedule applies to every eligible source on the page.

## Check Sync Status

Notion, Airtable, and Google Drive source rows show the latest result and the next scheduled sync. Click one of these sources to open its sync history. For PMS Knowledge, open the three-dot menu and choose **Sync history**.

| Status                  | Meaning                                               |
| ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| **Updated**             | Conduit found changes and updated the Knowledge.      |
| **Checked, no changes** | The sync succeeded, but the source had not changed.   |
| **Syncing…**            | Conduit is checking the source.                       |
| **Paused**              | Auto-sync stopped because the source needs attention. |
| **Failed**              | The latest check did not complete.                    |

If auto-sync is paused, fix or reconnect the source, then click **Resume & sync now**.

## Turn Off Auto-sync

Choose **Off** from the same **Set auto-sync** menu. Your imported Knowledge stays in Conduit.
