Question: I have an iTwin Project created, but why do I not see that project listed in the iTwin Synchronizer as a project to select?
Answer: Even though you have created an iTwin Project, you will need to add yourself as a member of the Project. Once you are a member of the Project, you will then see the Project in the drop down in the iTwin Synchronizer. When including yourself as a member of the Project, please be sure to ensure that you have the correct roles under the iModel section.
Question: Why do I see an alert dialog, asking for consent, when I click on the Synchronize button?
Answer: iTwin synchronizer now requires user consent before running connectors. When you click 'Confirm' button you are providing this consent and won't see this pop-up dialog again. On click of 'Confirm' button you will be redirected to the browser. You can close this browser, return to the app and click synchronizer button. From here on the synchronization will proceed as expected.
Question: What do I do to get past the consent alert appearing repeatedly when I click on the Synchronize button?
Answer: The work around is to go to the Control Panel > Credential Manager and pick windows credentials. Windows credentials lists generic credentials for the itwin synchronizer.
