This section is only relevant if you're using MYOB AE or MYOB AO on a desktop computer in your practice.

You’re able to sync, or migrate, all your contact data from your desktop MYOB AE/AO to MYOB Practice, which enables you to access your data any time anywhere regardless of whether your practice server is on or off.

The data on your practice server will remain the original source and the migrated data will be read-only (i.e., the online data can’t be edited). Any changes that you make to your contacts on your desktop MYOB AE/AO will be automatically synchronised.

Your contact data can be migrated from a workstation or server, at any time, by any person within your practice, even while others are working in your desktop MYOB AE/AO.

Once you've synchronised your contact data you won't be able to turn it off.
