# Omega InstaFeed - Auto-sync latest posts/reels to your published widget

|| With this fea**ture, you ca**n: 
* automatically add new posts to your media library in app.
* keep your live widgets always fresh, relevant, and engaging.

# What This Feature Does?
When enabled, the app will:
* Automatically fetch new Instagram posts
* Sync posts published **within the last 6 months** into the media library
* Update **already-published Instagram Feed widgets** using the latest synced media
No action is required after the initial setup.

# ⚡ Auto Sync

Auto-sync allows a **specific widget** to automatically update with new Instagram posts without manual action.
Each widget can independently enable or disable auto-sync.

### How Auto-sync Works
Please be noted that by default, Auto Sync is **turned off**.

1. Open a widget (create or edit).
2. Turn on **Auto-sync new posts**.
3. Check sync frequency (e.g. every day). If you want to change schedule, you need to go to Settings page.  
4. The app automatically fetches new posts from the last 6 months.
5. That widget** updates automatically** when new eligible media is synced.

||| Sync schedule is managed globally in **Settings**, but activation is controlled per widget.
* You can choose how often the app should sync:
    * Every 2 hours
    * Every 8 hours
    * Every day
    * Every 3 days
* The sync runs on **fixed time intervals**. For example, if you set it to **Every 2 hours**, the app will sync at 0h, 2h, 4h, 6h, …, 22h, 24h.
* The newest synced posts/Reels will appear directly in your **Media Library table** and **Live widgets**. 

# 🔄 Manual Sync

Manual Sync allows you to fetch the latest Instagram posts **on demand** from the app’s Settings page.

### How Manual Sync Works
1. Go to **App Settings**.
2. Click **Sync Instagram Media**.
3. The app fetches new posts from the last 6 months.
4. Synced media becomes available in the media library.
5. Published widgets update based on their media selection rules.

Once the sync is complete, the **Last sync time** will be updated so you always know when the latest sync happened.

### When to Use Manual Sync
* You want full control over when new posts appear
* You are running a campaign and don’t want automatic changes
* You want to review content before showing it on the storefront
