This refactoring was significant.  The main changes that the user will notice/experience are:
   * The new [[synchronisation:sync_sites#viewing_sync_sites|Synchronisation button on the Special page of the Navigator]] which provides a much more user-friendly way of managing sync sites   * The new [[synchronisation:sync_sites#viewing_sync_sites|Synchronisation button on the Special page of the Navigator]] which provides a much more user-friendly way of managing sync sites
   * Sync [[synchronisation:sync_sites#site_ID|Site ID]] is no longer user controllable.  A new field called [[synchronisation:sync_sites#site_code|Site Code]] has been introduced to allow users to assign a meaningful code to a sync site, much like stores have names and codes.   * Sync [[synchronisation:sync_sites#site_ID|Site ID]] is no longer user controllable.  A new field called [[synchronisation:sync_sites#site_code|Site Code]] has been introduced to allow users to assign a meaningful code to a sync site, much like stores have names and codes.
