    Hello 1Canid! 👋

    Thanks for the questions! When you save a new item, or edit an existing item, those changes should appear on all of your devices (and on 1Password.com) almost instantly depending on the speed of your internet connection. If you're adding files to an item then those can take longer to upload and download to all of your devices depending on the file size. 

    Only your recent changes are shared when you modify an item, otherwise you'd see a very big delay if you've saved a lot of files and 1Password had to continually re-download your entire vault when you save a single new item.

    I hope that helps. 🙂
