Folders disappear if working on bookmarks and the program begins to sync

Lost two folders today as I was editing bookmarks and folders. Added an entry, went back to the original location to delete the same entry, then the new folder was gone.

Is there a way to have the sync activate only upon close of day? If it syncs thruout the day, it erases bookmarks that I am currently working on.

Disconnect sync before editing or rearranging your bookmarks.

Thank you for your advice to turn off Sync while editing. I finally figured that out after it happened so many times, and I lost so many folders throughout the past month while Xmarks was down.

My thoughts: Sync should not run automatically. It should run only when user activates it.

Appreciate your reply.
