How to totally cancel a sync-settings process -- not just pause it

New Here ,

I am working on an album of 800 photos.  By accident, I had all photos selected when I cropped one of the photos from landscape to portrait orientation. Lightroom then proceeded to start doing the same to all the photos in the album. By clicking "reset" next to the sync button, I was able to pause the sync-settings process, but not cancel it entirely.

 

It's as if there is a queue of sync jobs and it is impossible to remove an unwanted sync job from that queue. In other words, I have to wait until all 800 photos are cropped to portrait orientation (even though I don't want that to happen), and only then (hopefully) fix one of them and sync that crop setting to all 800 photos. 

 

This seems an incredibly inefficient process. I can't be the first Lightroom user to inadvertently start a sync-settings process and want to stop it for good. 

 

Is there a way to stop that unwanted sync-settings job once and for all?

Did you have Auto Sync toggled or did you click the Sync button?
