+<h2>Synchronise</h2>
+
+<p>There are two different types of synchronisation:</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>directories/files</li>
+ <li>file metadata</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Synchronising directories and files is about updating your directories tree with the album tree in the database.
+Synchronising file metadata is about updating photo information, such as filesize, dimensions in pixels, EXIF or IPTC information, in the database.</p>
+
+<p>When synchronising your uploads with your gallery you must first synchronise directories and files.</p>
+
+<p>The synchronisation process may take a long time (depending on server load and the number of elements to manage) so it is possible to do it album by album.</p> \ No newline at end of file
