File Sync
Mountee communicates directly with the database – every save is saved directly, unlike EE’s file sync which uses the created file – and only syncs via the control panel. For that reason, we encourage people who have been using ExpressionEngine’s file sync, to synchronise templates and switch this feature off.
The reason for this is that if you have been working with EE’s generated files, the database versions of the files won’t be up to date. Synchronizing your templates and turning off revision saving ensures that you’ll see the latest version when you start using Mountee, you’ll see the older versions of the template stored in your database.
