Parity Buttons for Full Sync Notification

AnkiDroid (Android) Suggestions
1

Hi all, this is a minor suggestion. Currently, the Ankidroid and AnkiDesktop have quite different prompts for full sync.
AnkiDesktop’s dialogue is Download/Upload focused and uses Version, whereas Ankidroid’s is client focus and uses Collection.

One problem though is that all the existing documentation and the intro videos talk about uploading and downloading, so it could potentially cause more confusion

It goes both ways. I remember one person being confused when you asked them to choose “download” on next sync but they were using AnkiDroid.

I don’t think you need to update the intro videos as soon as the prompts are changed. A note in the description/comments section should be fine. Can update the title to point towards that.
