# Synchronization change types

This topic describes possible changes that may occur to the project files or folders between the work area and the repository. The Synchronize wizard identifies the changes and displays an icon and description.

Some changes affect file content, and others affect the file status or the name.

Icons with an Up arrow indicate changes in the work area that are to be uploaded to the Dimensions CM repository. Icons with a Down arrow indicate changes in the Dimensions CM repository that are to be downloaded to your work area.
