Changing how your computer syncs
Sync Settings controls where the Individual Edition sends and receives your school's records. Most people never need to change it.
Opening Sync Settings
Open Sync Settings from the Individual Edition's menu. It shows the current mode and your school's subscription.
Sync modes
| Mode | Use when |
|---|---|
| Online (Portal) | Your school runs online through the Academium portal. |
| School Server | Your school has its own school server. |
Switching to a school server
- Choose School Server.
- Enter the Server URL your administrator gives you.
- Leave Device Key blank to keep the existing one, unless your administrator gives you a new one.
- Test the connection. When it works, Academium shows Connected and the server's version.
- Save.
Restart the Individual Edition for the change to take effect.
Common issues
"Could not reach the school server." Check that you are on the school network, the address is right, and the server is running.
"Test the connection before saving." Academium will not save a server it has not reached. Test first.
My changes are not appearing for colleagues. Check that the mode matches how your school runs Academium, and that you restarted after changing it.
