Two-Way Sync

By default the plugin syncs one way: you write in Obsidian, changes go to the server. The server never modifies your files.

Two-way sync sends changes in both directions. If a file is updated on the server, the plugin downloads it to your vault automatically.

When you need it

Team editing — multiple people edit the same knowledge base. Everyone sees each other's changes in real time.

Server-side automation — Telegram post imports, content generation, data processing. Results appear directly in your vault.

Important

Two-way sync can modify your local files. The plugin tracks changes and resolves simple conflicts automatically.

If you and a colleague edit the same file simultaneously, the plugin shows a prompt:

Keep your version
Accept the server version
Save both versions

Complex conflicts can be subtle. Set up backups before enabling.

How to enable

Open trip2g sync plugin settings
Enable Two-way sync
Run sync — the plugin checks the server state

On the first sync, the plugin asks which version to treat as the source of truth: local or server.

Live updates (real-time)

With two-way sync on, you can also turn on live updates: server changes appear in your vault the instant they happen — no sync click, no waiting for the periodic check. The plugin keeps a live connection and pulls changes as they land.

Enable it: with two-way sync on, set Live pull patterns in the plugin settings — include/exclude globs that choose which folders update live:

** — everything
blog/**, docs/** — only these folders
exclude drafts/** — never auto-pull drafts
leave empty — live updates off

It stays safe:

Only non-conflicting changes apply automatically. If you edited a file locally, a server change never overwrites it — you get a conflict prompt.
Server-side deletions don't silently remove your local file — the plugin asks first.

A background reconciliation (every few minutes) and manual sync still catch anything missed — for example, changes that happened while you were offline.

Status indicator

A colored dot on the sync icon shows the current state:

Color	Meaning
🔵 Blue	Server has changes
🟢 Green	Local changes pending
🟠 Orange	Both sides have changes
🔴 Red	Conflicts detected
