By default, the plugin will push/pull all tables of a certain type (strings/assets), but there is a possibility to select specific tables to sync before starting the process.

Each string and assets table will convert to a separate CSV file (for texts) and folder (for assets) in your Crowdin localization project in the Content tab.

• Download translations from Crowdin to Unity (both strings and assets). Pull the translations and place them in the localization table. For this, choose Tools > Crowdin > Pull string/asset translations from Crowdin.

In case there are no translations for some strings or assets, you will see the source.
