When a file Claude changed is open in another program on your machine, sync now leaves that file alone and shows a warning that the files \"are open in other programs here and were left as they are.\" The next sync tries those files again once the program has closed them.\n\n**Why**\n\nYou are told when a change has not been applied yet and why. Closing the other program lets the next sync finish the job.\n\n- Area: Cloud Sync\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
