# Selective Syncing \[Mobile Apps\]

## Selective Syncing allows users to select and sync individual surveys within a Site instead of syncing all Surveys at once.

**Tip:** Selective Sync is a great option if you have a Site with a large amount of surveys or photo attachments.

**To enable Selective Sync:**

- Navigate to the Account drop down in the upper right corner of the Site List
- Toggle on the 'Selective Sync' option under "Sync Options"
