# Sync details?

 * Can you explain exactly how the category sync is meant to work? I assume that
   if I’ve created an event category ‘Foo’, and I have an existing post category‘
   Foo’, then any event I add to the event category Foo will also appear in the 
   post category Foo.
 * But your warning about deleting categories makes me awfully nervous about testing
   that.

 * If you enable sync you cannot edit the categories in event-list anymore. The 
   categories will be synced with the post categories. Categories with the same 
   slug will be still available after syncing. But if you have set additional categories
   in event-list categories which are not available in post-categories theses categories
   will be lost after syncing. That is the reason for the warning.
