When Sync Direction Settings are set to PROMPT, the plugin shows a dialog whenever a sync decision needs to be made.

When Dialogs Appear
Dialogs appear when:
- A book has different reading positions in KOReader and Kobo
- Sync Direction Settings are set to PROMPT for that scenario
- The sync decision is about to be made (newer or older state)
Dialog Behavior
When you see a dialog, you have two options:
| Button | Effect |
|---|---|
| Yes | Proceed with the sync operation |
| No | Skip this sync decision, no changes are made |
