Can you selectively sync individual files that are listed after compare?

I'm brand new to FreeFileSync, but couldn't find this question answered. Suppose I do a comparsion between 2 folders & get a list.

Is there a way to manually sync only certain files? I know that I can go through & unmark individual files, so that they won't be synchronized, but can I manually copy individual files?

Thank you in advance!

Thank you for your quick reply. I looked through many of the options. I don't see one where you can compare first, then look at the list (which may include dozens of files), & then manually click on maybe one or 2 & synchronize just those.

Is there a way to do that?

Thanks again.

To do that, you should select all, CTRL-Click what you want to sync, then right-click and temporarily exclude the remaining selection

No. Just use "Synchronize selection": follow the link I posted earlier

Thank you for your replies! Took me awhile to check this out, but both methods work. I didn't realize that right click would bring up the "Synchronize selection" option.

I appreciate your patience & expertise & look forward to using FreeFileSync & donating to it!
