# Sync Your Settings

Zip Captions can sync your settings against your stored settings on our cloud server. This allows you to store your preferred settings across multiple devices, or to restore your settings after a temporary change.

To get started:

1. Click on Login on the homepage.&#x20;

4. Click on the three lines in the right corner, and choose **Settings**. Now choose **Sync**. Your first step is to save your current settings to the server. To do this, click on the ‘**Save Current**’ button.

6. Once you make a change to your settings which differ to the ones that are saved on the server, you will see this tile in the sync tab. Here you can choose to toggle between the local settings, and server settings. Choosing to **save current** will overwrite your saved server settings with your current local ones, or choosing to **Apply Saved** will overwrite your local settings with the cloud based ones. Switching the **Local** or **Server** toggle will allow you to see the differences between your current and saved settings.
