# Sync Schedule

*Applies to: On-premises Publisher*

## Scheduling Daily Publish

By default, we recommend the Publisher sync runs on a daily basis. The sync schedule only controls **when updates or applications are published** to your environment. Keep in mind this will also affect assignment scheduling if you use the manage assignments feature.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Tip**: Generally, Patch My PC releases an update to the catalog **three to five times a week**. These updates are released usually posted by **4:00 PM Eastern Time**.
{% endhint %}

When Patch My PC releases these new updates, the **sync schedule is what automates the publication process**. 

You can also manually start the sync and publication process at any time by selecting the **Run Publishing Service Sync** option.

### Intune Application Manager

After the sync, you can view the published products with the [Intune Application Manager.](https://patchmypc.com/intune-application-manager-utility) This feature will provide you with a live view of all Win32 apps currently in your Intune tenant. 

It can help you:

* **Export a list of your Intune Win32 apps to .csv**, so you can use our [**Power BI template**](https://patchmypc.com/power-bi-reports-for-microsoft-intune-third-party-updates) to report on third party patching in Intune
* **Manage live assignments** for all of your existing Win32 apps in Intune
* **Multi-select and delete** Intune Win32 apps or their assignments

The utility can be found within the Publisher in either the **Intune Apps** or **Intune Updates** tab, on the right-hand side as a cloud icon with a magnifying glass:

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.patchmypc.com/installation-guides/intune/sync-schedule.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
