Preview, Apply, and runs

Preview is the safety rail for manual changes. Large catalogs process as a single logical run across multiple background jobs.

Prerequisites

  • Sheet, mapping, and policies configured

Steps

  1. Start a Preview (manual). Wait until the run finishes computing creates / updates / archives.
  2. Reconcile surprising archive or create counts before touching Apply.
  3. Click Apply when the diff matches intent.
  4. Watch Logs / run status. Large sheets continue in chunks until the run completes—treat it as one sync, not many unrelated jobs.

Tips

  • Never Apply the first Preview after a huge sheet redesign without spot-checking sample rows.
  • Scheduled syncs do not pause for Preview; validate structural changes with a manual Preview first, then re-enable the schedule.

Troubleshooting

  • Preview stuck running: wait for chunk continuation; check Logs for errors mid-run.
  • Apply counts differ from Preview: the sheet changed between runs—Preview again.
