Tip 3: Check the Not Synced publishers and follow the instructions
All listings on the All Listings page have a designated status in the system platform. Here we explain what the Not Synced status means, how to view listings that aren’t synced, and provide more information to resolve listings that aren’t synced. For information on other statuses, see: What is the status column?
Listings may not be synced for a variety of reasons. Some may be fixed by you, while others may need to be resolved by our support. And some are not synced due to publisher limitations, where no further actions need to be taken.
