Alternatively, you can start a new project choosing "Regular Start" and go through the initial compile steps to reach the syncing screens. Before you start this section, ensure you have covered the "Preparing to Sync" chapter and have added the necessary fields to your solution, got a FileMaker Server to deploy to, turned on Accessibility and the Data API and checked your keyboard is a Qwerty one.

We're here because we want to add syncing, so click "Yes" to Does your solution need to synchronise? You now need to decide if you want to extract data as well.
