Keywords not syncing

[ericgraig]

I imported some photos into LR and gave them keywords and ratings. The images have synced to LR Classic as expected and while the ratings have been retained in classic, the keywords are missing. Is this a glitch, is it by design, or is it possible I'm doing something wrong?

Thanks much.

It's by design....keywords do not sync between Lightroom Classic and the cloud.

Thanks. I'm guessing here that they also do not sync from cloud TO Classic?

Yes, they don't flow in either direction..

Keywords DO flow from the Cloud to Classic for me, but not from Classic to the Cloud.

That's interesting. They are not supposed to flow in either direction, so are these keywords which you have entered yourself using one of the Lightroom cloud apps, or are they keywords that had been applied to an image before it was imported into the cloud app?

Does that mean, that I cannot enter any keywords to my photos on my lightroom mobile on iPhone while I am on the road or in vacation? And that I can enter them only after returning home?  For a seven week trip quite ennoying!
