 # PostgreSQL DB Sync
+[[toc]]
 
 **DB Sync** is a tool that takes care of two-way synchronisation between <MainPlatformNameLink /> and PostGIS databases. The synchronisation works both ways: changes made in a PostGIS database are automatically pushed to a configured <MainPlatformName /> project and changes made in a GeoPackage in the <MainPlatformName /> project are pushed to the PostGIS database.
