# How does Synch work?

With synchronization, every logbook you create is seamlessly accessible on all your devices, ensuring you have your records at your fingertips anytime, anywhere.

## Use cases

Let's imagine you are planning to go on a trip, you take with yourself your tablet or laptop and you create a logbook on that device.

After your trip, when you come back home, you want to check your logs on a bigger screen (or on your smartphone if you'd like).

With smart logger sync feature you **just have to open the app** on your PC to view all your logged contacts **instantly**, without even touching your tablet.

## Data loss prevention

Another big advantage of synchronization is that all your logbooks are **backed up in the cloud**.

In the event of a device failure or data loss, you'll have a copy of your data available to you, just open the Smart Logger app on any device and you'll find it!

If you are offline during your activation or trip, your logbooks will be synchronized as soon as you have internet access

You don't need to have every device active at the same time to allow for synchronization, every time you log in (even from a new device) all your data is synchronized instantly.
