Changes not syncing to classic

Hi! If anyone can help.. I reorganized my Lr mobile albums. I renamed some of them and added main folders with folders inside. The changes have synced to my other Lr mobile devices but not to Lr Classic. I've tried restarting Lr Classic and that didnt work. Lr Classic version 14.0.1 and Lr version 8.0. and using macbook pro. Thank you for any help or ideas!!

What exactly did not sync? Folders in Lightroom are like collection sets in Lightroom Classic, but they do not sync between them. So any reorganizing of albums in different folders will not sync to Lightroom Classic. Changing an album name should sync, however. The corresponding collection in Lightroom Classic should get that same new name after syncing.

Hi! Thank you for your help! I changed the folder names in Lr CC. I deleted a couple albums I dont need, but didn't change any album names. (The deleted albums from CC are still showing in Collections in Classic.)

I also changed some folder names and added folders under those. For example I moved all Clients to one folder, then in the folder are folders Clients YEAR for each year. I was trying to clean it up. 

Do I need to change the Collection Sets name in Classic to match what I did in Lr? I thought it would sync back?

Thank you !!

After testing, I see what you're saying, thank you! Album names and edits are syncing. I'll just need to change the folder names in Classic to match what I did in Lr.
