# Syncing a workload
<a name="syncing-workload"></a>

 For Automatic syncing, the connector automatically syncs improvement items when you update a workload (for example, when you complete a question or select a new best practice). 

 In both Manual and Automatic syncing, any changes made in Jira (like completing a question or best practice) are synced back to AWS Well-Architected Tool.
