Run a manual sync

Manual sync applies to the connected provider cards for Instapaper and Inoreader. It does not trigger one-time file imports or reader-app token flows such as Koodo Reader, Moon+ Reader, or Readest.

  1. Open Extensions & Apps.
  2. Find the connected Instapaper or Inoreader card.
  3. Choose Sync now. If the card is already in an error state, choose Retry sync.
  4. Keep the page open until the action finishes and the card shows the result or an error.
ResultMeaning
ImportedNew highlights added to your Acorny library
BackfilledA note added to a matching existing highlight; currently relevant to Inoreader
SkippedContent Acorny did not add again, such as a highlight already in the library
RestoredA previously known highlight restored by the current sync result
FailedItems the current sync could not process

Zero Imported can be a healthy result when the provider has no new highlights. Check the other counts and the last-synced time before treating zero as an error.

Use Retry sync once. If the card reports a connection error, use Reconnect and complete the provider’s connection flow again. If the same failure returns, follow Import and sync troubleshooting.

Return to Import vs sync if you are unsure whether your source uses a connected card, a file import, or reader-app sync.
