## What is vault syncing?
|
||||
Adding, editing, or deleting Vault items from any Bitwarden client application will automatically push changes to your Bitwarden server, whether Cloud-hosted or self-hosted.
|
||||
|
||||
Vault syncing is purely downloading the latest content from your Bitwarden vault onto your device for access.
|
||||
In order to pull those changes down to another Bitwarden client application, your Vault will need to Sync.
|
||||
|
||||
In some cases, this happens automatically. On iOS and Android apps, Bitwarden leverages push notifications to kick-off a **personal** vault synchronization.
|
||||
## Automatic Sync
|
||||
|
||||
**Organization Vaults** synchronize to devices every 30 minutes, or upon manual sync.
|
||||
Your personal [Web Vault](https://vault.bitwarden.com){:target="\_blank"} will always remain in-sync. Organization Vaults will automatically sync across users and client applications every 30 minutes.
|
||||
|
||||
## When does my vault sync?
|
||||
Bitwarden client applications (Desktop Applications, Browser Extensions, Mobile Apps, and CLI) will sync automatically on login, and with regularity when unlocked. You can also [Manually Sync](#manual-sync) your Vault to pull changes to a client application immediately.
|
||||
|
||||
### Mobile APPS
|
||||
{% callout success %}
|
||||
When you install Bitwarden on a new device, simply log in to your existing account to automatically pull down your most up-to-date Vault data.
|
||||
{% endcallout %}
|
||||
|
||||
The Bitwarden mobile apps sync **personal** vaults automatically.
|
||||
Organization vaults are synchronized once every 30 minutes, or on-demand by navigating to:
|
||||
**Settings > Sync > Sync Vault now**
|
||||
## Manual Sync
|
||||
|
||||
{% callout info %}Self-hosted users can enable Push notifications powered by the Bitwarden cloud.{% endcallout %}
|
||||
To manually sync your Vault from a Bitwarden client application:
|
||||
|
||||
You can also sync your vault on-demand with the pull down gesture. Navigate to **Settings > Sync > Enable sync on refresh** to enable sync on refresh.
|
||||
### Sync Browser Extensions
|
||||
|
||||
### Browser extensions
|
||||
Select the {% icon fa-cogs %} **Settings** tab, select the **Sync** option and select the **Sync Vault Now** button.
|
||||
|
||||
The Bitwarden browser extensions sync **personal** vaults automatically.
|
||||
Organization vaults are synchronized once every 30 minutes, or on-demand by navigating to:
|
||||
**Settings > Sync > Sync Vault now**
|
||||
### Sync Mobile Apps
|
||||
|
||||
### Desktop applications
|
||||
Open the {% icon fa-cogs %} **Settings** tab, tap the **Sync** option and tap **Sync Vault Now**.
|
||||
|
||||
The Bitwarden desktop apps sync **personal** vaults automatically.
|
||||
Organization vaults are synchronized once every 30 minutes, or on-demand by navigating to: **File > Sync Vault**
|
||||
Toggle the **Enable sync on refresh** option to allow your Vault to be synced using a pulldown gesture on the {% icon fa-lock %} **My Vault** tab.
|
||||
|
||||
### Command-line interface
|
||||
### Sync Desktop Apps
|
||||
|
||||
The Bitwarden CLI client syncs **personal** vaults automatically.
|
||||
Organization vaults are synchronized once every 30 minutes, or on-demand by running the command: ```bw sync```
|
||||
Select **File** → **Sync Vault** from the menu bar.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common issues
|
||||
### Sync the CLI
|
||||
|
||||
- Sync failure can occur if your device’s time is not correct. Syncing (and all of Bitwarden services) require TLS/SSL, which will fail to connect to a host with invalid timestamps.
|
||||
Use the `sync` command to manually sync your Vault:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
bw sync
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For more information, see [The Bitwarden command-line tool (CLI)]({% link _articles/miscellaneous/cli.md %}).
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
If Vault Sync is not working properly, investigate the following:
|
||||
|
||||
#### Mismatched Timestamp
|
||||
|
||||
Sync failure may occur if your device's time is not correct. Bitwarden uses TLS/SSL, which will fail to connect a client application to the server if timestamps are mismatched.
|
||||
|
||||
#### VPN or Ad Blocker Interference
|
||||
|
||||
In some cases, VPN or Ad Blocker browser extensions may interfere with the connection between client application and server. This issue is typically observed with Bitwarden Browser Extensions.
