Managing proof: LiveSync

LiveSync allows you to automatically and continually import proof into Hyperproof. The goal of LiveSync is to ensure that proof in Hyperproof is up-to-date and in sync with proof that you have stored in an external cloud service.

When LiveSync is turned on, Hyperproof imports a new version of your file(s) any time a change is made to the source file. Proof imported by LiveSync is a copy of the file in the external storage provider, such as Google Drive or Dropbox, and any restricted permissions on the original file do not apply in Hyperproof. Any user in your organization who has access to an object, e.g. a control or label, is able to view proof linked to the object regardless of LiveSync status.

What's the difference between LiveSync and Hypersyncs?

In short, LiveSync only allows versioning of proof whereas Hypersyncs allow for both the versioning and adding of new proof.
