Review Synced Files

If the folder you’re trying to add contains a WordPress installation, it cannot be included because our system treats it as a separate site. You’ll need to add it as a new site instead. Otherwise, the newly added folders will appear in the list with a “Synced” status next to them.

Note: Check that each file or folder shows the correct sync status and last modified details to confirm everything is up-to-date.
