Lightroom classic lost syncing option (11.0.1)

[ajh3_esquire]

Hi, Is there a way to determine why my updated lightoom now nolonger shows the option to sync, next to any currently (previously synced) colelction, nor shows the option in the dialog box to create new collections. But the upper right corner Sync options appear to be engaged and working (Cloud with green check). lightroom.com appears synced but it appears I cannot create any new colelctions to sync or update previously sync collections. Any opinions appreciated.

Hi Tarun,

Thanks for the reply. I'm including a screen grab of my now reset interface. And the dialog box for creating a new Collection. Notice that it now nolonger has the option to sync to Lightroom. Also, many of my non Smart Collections, in this list, used to have the double headed sync arrow, innthe left side of the list, now missing. Notsure what I clicked on to hide or disbale the sync options when preferences see my lightroom CC account. any help appreciated.

HI Tarun,

I did reset the preferences. My ux changed back to the default but it didn't reset or make my syncing options reappear. The screen grab was from after I reset my preferences.

And as these things often happen...for some iunknown reason...My Lightroom Classic has appeared to have re-estanblished the syncing function, overnight! I disabled the sync option, last night. This moreinginI re-enbaled it, and it appearsefd to want to sync ~55 files, and my double headded arrows have also reappeared. To me this feels lie the sync function failed and was reestablished, but the tool gives me no way to know that. Happy again, for an unknown reason.

Thanks for the update. Have you tried any other troubleshooting steps after re-enabling the sync option?

I will definitely investigate this issue and will keep you posted.
