## Auto content synchronization


To automatically import content for translation from SFTP choose files and click Scheduled sync in the right panel in the SFTP integration. The file you chose will be pushed once at a scheduled time (by default, it is done once a day). The same button is used to export translated files from Crowdin to SFTP (in the left panel). You may disable this by clicking Disable Sync.
