### **Step 1: Where to find sync errors**

1.  In the **StoreConnect Console**, click the **Setup** button in the header actions bar.

2.  Under **Synchronization**, click **Manage sync errors**.

3.  This opens the [Sync Error Tool](sync-error-tool), which shows any **current synchronisation errors**.

    -   You can also access this via the **App Launcher** by searching for **Sync Errors**.


---

### **Step 2: Simulating an Example Error (for learning purposes)**

To simulate a sync error:

1.  Go to **Object Manager** in Salesforce setup.

2.  Edit the **Order** object.

3.  Add a **new custom field** (e.g., text field).

4.  Set this field as **Required**.

5.  Leave it **hidden from the page layout** so it can't be filled in during a normal order.


Now when you place a test order through your website:

-   The sync will **fail** due to the **missing required field**.

-   A new sync error will appear in the **Sync Error Tool**.


---

### **Step 3: Review the Sync Error Details**

1.  Open the **sync error record** from the list.

2.  Use the **dropdown arrow** → select **Wrap Text** to view the full error message.

3.  Click the **Information icon** next to the error for a suggested fix.


In our example, the message might say: “Required field 'Let’s create trouble\_\_c' not populated.”

---

### **Step 4: Fix the Underlying Issue**

You have several options to resolve the problem:

-   **Remove the “Required” status** from the problematic field.

-   **Assign a default value** so it’s always filled in automatically.

-   **Manually update the affected records** to include valid values.


In our scenario:

-   Go back to **Setup → Object Manager → Order → Fields**.

-   Edit the custom field.

-   **Deselect "Required"** or add a **default value**.

-   Click **Save**.


---

### **Step 5: Resync the error records**

1.  Return to the [Sync Error Tool](sync-error-tool) (Setup > Synchronization > Manage sync errors).

2.  Select all the errored records.

3.  Click the **Resync** button.


If the issue is resolved, the records will now sync successfully.
Your **sync error list should now be empty**.

---

### **Step 6: Confirm Successful Synchronization**

-   Refresh the **orders list view** or relevant object list.

-   Verify that the previously failing records are now fully synced and visible.
