# Auto-sync

> Re-crawl your links on a schedule so your chatbot tracks your latest content.

Auto-sync re-imports your website links on a schedule, so the chatbot's
answers follow your content without manual retraining.

## What auto-sync covers

Two kinds of schedules keep **Website Links** content fresh:

* **Whole-import schedules** re-run a website crawl or sitemap import,
  refreshing every page it produced.
* **Per-link schedules** re-fetch an individual link. Set them by opening a
  link in **Links List**, or select several and use **Update Config**.

YouTube videos have no schedule; resync them manually from **Links List**
(or `sitegpt knowledge documents resync`) when a video's captions change.

Uploaded files and connected apps (Notion, Google Drive, Dropbox,
OneDrive, Box) do not run on a schedule. Resync them manually from
**Files & Data Sources** when the source changes, or script it with the
[CLI](/docs/cli/knowledge): `sitegpt knowledge documents resync`. The exception
is [GitHub](/docs/data-sources/github), which has its own auto-sync schedule and
also discovers newly added files.

[Text snippets](/docs/features/text-snippets) have no schedule either; editing
and saving the snippet retrains it immediately.

## Set a sync frequency

Set the **Auto Sync Frequency**:

* For a website crawl or sitemap import, in the **Scrape Website** or
  **Add from Sitemap** form (or later from **Auto Sync Jobs**).
* For individual links, by opening the link in **Links List**, or selecting
  several and using **Update Config**.

| Frequency   | When it runs                       |
| ----------- | ---------------------------------- |
| **Daily**   | Every day at 00:00 UTC             |
| **Weekly**  | Sundays at 00:00 UTC               |
| **Monthly** | The 1st of each month at 00:00 UTC |
| **Never**   | Manual resync only                 |

Available frequencies depend on your plan. See
[plans](https://sitegpt.ai/pricing) for which schedules your plan includes.

<Note>
  Changing a frequency schedules future syncs; it does not start one
  immediately. To update content right now, select the links and use the
  bulk **Resync** button.
</Note>

## Sitemap scanning

Sitemap imports have a second schedule, **Auto Scan Frequency**: SiteGPT
re-reads your `sitemap.xml` on that schedule and imports any new URLs it
finds. This is how newly published pages join your chatbot automatically.

Scanning discovers new pages; syncing refreshes existing ones. Use both for
a fully hands-off setup.

## Monitor your sync jobs

Open **Auto Sync Jobs** in the sidebar to see every scheduled job, its
sources, and its run history. Open a job to see each run's status and how
many documents were updated.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="A sync run failed">
    Open the job's run for details. The same causes that fail an import fail
    a sync: the site blocking crawlers, removed pages, or exhausted
    [pages quota](/docs/features/pages-quota). Fix the cause; the next scheduled
    run picks it up, or resync manually.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Deleting a job">
    Deleting an auto-sync job stops the schedule. Content that was already
    synced stays trained until you delete it from the list.
