# Synchronizers

Synchronizers import and keep entries up to date by pulling connections from external providers into Remote Desktop Manager.

They reduce the time spent populating vaults by importing sessions in the right format, preserving inheritance, and automating ongoing synchronization to reflect source changes. This approach minimizes manual entry, prevents drift, and keeps structures consistent across environments.

Use synchronizers to standardize large deployments, migrate from other tools with consistent formatting, or maintain client-specific vaults alongside traditional import and export workflows for one-time moves.

{% hint style="success" %}
To ensure entries are up to date before synchronization, it is recommended to enable the ***Refresh before executing entry***setting located in ***Administration***– ***System settings*** – ***Application*** – ***Cache/Offline***, under the ***Refresh***heading.
{% endhint %}
