If the contents of a folder in your catalog
don’t match the contents of the same folder on the volume, you can
synchronize the two folders. When you synchronize folders, you have
the option of adding files that have been added to the folder but
not imported into the catalog, removing files that have been deleted,
and scanning for metadata updates. The photo files in the folder
and all subfolders can be synchronized. You can determine which
folders, subfolders, and files are imported.
Note: The Synchronize
Folder command does not detect duplicate photos in a catalog. Lightroom
does not have a function that identifies duplicate files.
- In the Folders panel, select the folder you want
to synchronize.
- Choose Library > Synchronize Folder.
- In the Synchronize Folder dialog box, do any of the following:
To import photos that appear in the folders
but have not been imported in the catalog, select Import New Photos.
If you select Show Import Dialog Before Importing, you can specify
which folders and photos are imported.
To remove photos that have been deleted from the
folder but not from the catalog, select Remove Missing Photos From
Catalog. If this option is dimmed, no files are missing. (You can
choose Show Missing Photos to display the photos in Grid view.)
To scan for any metadata changes made to the files
in another application, choose Scan For Metadata Updates.
- Click Synchronize.
- If the Import Photos dialog box opens, confirm the folders
and files you want to import, and then click Import.
 If you have a missing folder that
is also empty, use the Synchronize Folder command to remove it from
the catalog.
