Data Catalog - VDP Sync

Can we see changes made in field descriptions in Data Catalog also in Design Studio? So far, It doesn't seem like doing that even though I synced changes. Does syncing only work from VDP to Data Catalog?

Hi, In general, **‘Sync with VDP’ option in the Data Catalog facilitates synchronization of data with the Virtual DataPort Server**. The Virtual DataPort Administration Tool and the Web Design Studio both point to the Virtual DataPort Server. As a result, whatever the changes you made in the Web Design Studio/Virtual DataPort Administration Tool such as ‘Description’, ‘Renaming convention to the elements’, 'adding the elements' etc will synchronize with the Data Catalog after clicking the option **‘Sync with VDP’** under ‘**Administration’** section of the Data Catalog. For more information you could refer to the section of the **[Synchronization with Virtual DataPort Server](https://community.denodo.com/docs/html/browse/8.0/en/vdp/data_catalog/administration/synchronize/synchronize)** under Data Catalog Guide. Hope it helps!

That actually doesn't answer my question. Question was "Can we see the changes made in Data Catalog also applied in the Design Studio?

Hi, Sorry for misunderstanding the question. Generally, Data Catalog is a software distributed as a web application included as a part of the Denodo 8.0 that offers data analysts, business users and application developers searching and browsing capability of data and metadata in a business friendly manner for self-service exploration and analytics. As Data Catalog is a web based self service tool,**If we make any changes in a data catalog like ‘description’ it does not reflect with the Web Design Studio/Virtual DataPort Administration Tool even after using ‘Sync with VDP**’. The option ‘**[Sync with VDP](https://community.denodo.com/docs/html/browse/8.0/en/vdp/data_catalog/administration/synchronize/synchronize)’ will synchronize only in the way from Virtual DataPort Server to the Data Catalog**, not synchronize from the Data Catalog to the Virtual DataPort Server. Hope it helps!
