warning

You'll set the group in Avalon database so your changes will take effect for all users.

Site Sync support

If Site Sync is enabled additional widget is shown in right bottom corner. It contains list of all representations of selected version(s). It also shows availability of representation files on particular site (active - mine, remote - theirs).

site_sync_support

On this picture you see that representation files are available only on remote site (could be GDrive or other). If artist wants to work with the file(s) they need to be downloaded first. That could be done by right mouse click on particular representation (or multiselect all) and select Download.

This will mark representation to be download which will happen in the background if OpenPype Tray is running.

For more details of progress, state or possible error details artist should open Sync Queue item in Tray app.
