## 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 devices 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.
