Package for Qfield

Copy the folder in the application files on your phone/tablet. Open Qfield and start collecting data.

Make also sure to save the QGIS project using the regular Save As of QGIS as you'll have to re-open it later when you want to synchronize the changes.


Synchronize from Qfield
=============

When you want to synchronize what you have collected, re-open the project in QGIS (the one you saved with a regular Save As).

Copy the project folder from your device to your computer and use the **Synchronize from Qfield** menu to synchronize your changes from the protable project to the main project.
