I do my SDL Publications work from two different computers, moving from one computer to the other as needed, using the same account from both computers. I may work on the same publications, but each computer stores its own list of recently accessed publications. If possible, I would like both computers to show the same "Recent publications" list. If I open a publication on one computer, I'd like to see that in the "Recent publications" list on the other computer as well, and so forth.
I note that from Publication Manager's Tools menu, there is Options, which has the item Local storage, set to: C:\Users\myusername\Documents\RWS\InfoShare
In an effort to get the same list of recently accessed publications from both computers, I changed this path on one computer to use a location on OneDrive in the cloud.
I changed the path to: C:\Users\myusername\mycompanyOneDrive\Documents\RWS\InfoShare
I figured if that worked, then I could set the same path on the other computer and have the same content on both computers, since they would be accessing and updating the same OneDrive cloud directory (presuming this is where SDL Publications stores the recently accessed publications list, which I am not certain of).
Instead of working smoothly, the computer that I changed the path on started giving me "Unexpected revision" errors and my publication did not show certain recently updated topics. When I reverted the path to the default, then normal and correct functionality was restored.
Is there any feedback or advice to achieve the result that I'm looking for? Am I on the right track trying to edit that Local storage path? Is this a bad idea, and should I just live with two different Recent publications lists on the two computers? Any help is appreciated.
