Theme Sync
# Theme Sync
Theme Sync is a feature that enables bidirectional synchronization between JSON files in your theme directory and the SleekRank database. This is useful for managing page group configurations as code.
## How It Works
When Theme Sync is enabled, SleekRank watches for JSON configuration files in a designated directory within your active theme. Changes flow in both directions:
- **Theme → Database**: When you update a JSON file in your theme, the changes are synced to the database on the next page load
- **Database → Theme**: When you update settings in WP Admin, the changes are written back to the theme JSON files
## Configuration Directory
By default, SleekRank looks for configuration files in:
`/your-theme/sleek-rank/`
Each page group can have a corresponding JSON file in this directory.
## Benefits
- **Version Control**: Track page group configurations in Git alongside your theme
- **Deployment**: Push configuration changes through your deployment pipeline
- **Team Collaboration**: Share page group setups across development environments
- **Backup**: Theme files serve as a natural backup of your configurations
## Conflict Resolution
If both the theme file and the database have been modified since the last sync, the most recently modified version takes priority. You can also manually trigger a sync from either direction in the SleekRank settings.
