Synchronization rules and notifications for a synced trial balance

When you import data from another engagement, you have the option to turn on the Sync Trial Balance toggle. If you turn this option on, data from the source engagement is automatically synced with the destination engagement. This allows you to make changes to the data in the source engagement and automatically share those changes with synced engagements. Note that you cannot select consolidated engagements as source engagements.
