Taskbar

You will always establish your own mode of working but the design of the software is very much orientated towards leaving Revelation working in the background.

Accordingly, the options of the taskbar are:

Open the local Explorer window. This will open at the site level.
Synchronise All. You can run a manual sync without waiting for the automatic timed interval sync, for example, when you are just about to leave the office.
Open application interface.
Exit will quit the application

When there are Conflicts or Network issues the taskbar icon changes from the standard icon to this warning sign.

You can always just double click the icon to open the Revelation Window.
