# Sync Status
*Applies to: Patch My PC Publisher V2.x*
## Overview
The sync status area displays the current state of the Publisher during a publishing synchronization. This status updates in real time as products are evaluated and processed.
## No Sync in Progress
When no publishing synchronization is running, the status bar displays No sync in progress. This indicates that the Publisher is idle and not actively evaluating or publishing content.
## Sync in Progress
During a publishing sync, the status bar displays the current operation being performed. This includes the product name and version currently being evaluated or published.
As the sync runs, the status updates for each product processed. This provides visibility into which updates or applications are being evaluated at that moment and confirms that the publishing service is actively working through the configured selections.
This status is particularly useful during large publishing synchronizations, as it confirms ongoing progress and helps identify where the Publisher is in the evaluation or publishing process.

## 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/patch-my-pc-publisher/administration/general/sync-status.md?ask=&goal=
```
`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.
