Designating a Directory

Overview

In Zilla, any application(s) can be designated as a directory or removed as a directory at any time, including custom applications. Zilla will indicate that an application is a directory, and application owners can perform a sync using any of the supported methods for the application.

  1. Repeat Steps 2-4 if additional directories need to be added. Additional directories should only be added if they are mutually exclusive and there will be no overlap in account data. If account data does overlap between directories, the data in Zilla will reflect the most recently synced directory.
