Best Practices Question:

I am excited about highlighting on the iPad and iPhone, but I want to make sure that I operate in such a way that highlighting is synchronized.  I have MAC 4.5SR2, iPhone, and iPad.  I use the Logos App and the Vyrso App on each.  Here is my question: What is the best way to run these problems and apps to make sure that synchronization happens?  Should I shut down the MAC software before I continue reading on my iPad?  Should I shut down one of the mobile apps before logging back on to the MAC?  Can synchronization of markups occur while all of these software programs are running?  I am not sure how and when synchronization occurs and do not want to go to another reading app/software without the highlighting being synchronized.

 

Thanks!

    Should I shut down the MAC software before I continue reading on my iPad?  Should I shut down one of the mobile apps before logging back on to the MAC?

    I have been told no.

    Can synchronization of markups occur while all of these software programs are running?

    Yes, and I have done it and seen the changes implemented on the other device.

     I am not sure how and when synchronization occurs and do not want to go to another reading app/software without the highlighting being synchronized.

    The only comment that I have is that it might be good to wait a second before closing the app if you have just highlighted something. I think, however, that the sync takes place generally before it appears on the mobile app. [I don't know this for sure, but it has been my impression]

    Thanks!  I tried leaving the mac program running and made a highlight notation on my iPhone and after initiating a sync now command, the highlight made on the iPhone appeared on the Mac Software.  However, the opposite is not happening.  Highlighting made on the Mac while the vyrso or logos app is running on the iPhone is not appearing.  Seems to me that we need a sync now function on the iPhone app to initiate synchronization.

    I misspoke earlier. I have not run it that way either. If you open a new resource and return, it should sync back up.
