Hi I just synced two windows 10 machines and when I restructured my bookmarks toolbar on one this morn (X), it overwrote the toolbar on the second machine (Y). From another (archived) Thread: "So if you have 2 computers one with X data and the other one with Y data, once you set up Sync in both computers you will have X+Y on both." I now have X's Bookmark toolbar on Y. Looked at settings and nothing apparent on how to stop this happening.

> Can I restore toolbar bookmarks on Y in one click, vs having to redo? > Is there a way to syc only one folder between computers - don't see that?

To be clear, I mainly deleted bookmarks on X, and added a couple. Y's Toolbar currently shows exactly as X was left off this morn. Any Help Appreciated

You will have to exclude the bookmarks from syncing if you want different bookmark on connected devices. Syncing items is al or nothing and there is no master or slave device, all data is merged among all connected devices.

Thank you Cor

Kind of what I was thinking, but ran across the thread that I quoted from a previous thread here and wanted to make sure. 

Be nice if you make a folder on each machine for bookmarks coming over from the other.
