Menu PDF synchronisation appears only for organisations and menu types where it has been enabled. You need access to edit the menu and its media fields.
Enable synchronisation and run the first refresh
Open the eligible menu, add the required PDF and thumbnail, and enable synchronisation. Request the initial refresh where the control is available. The CMS shows when extraction is in progress.
Replacing the PDF or its thumbnail can request another refresh. You can also use the manual refresh action when you need to rebuild the structured sections from the current source.
Review before publishing
Generated sections are saved for editorial review. Check section names, items, descriptions, prices, dietary information and ordering before publishing. A refresh does not remove the normal draft and publication steps.
Some generated fields can be edited after extraction. Treat the PDF as the source for synchronised fields: a later refresh can replace generated values, so keep lasting editorial copy in fields that are not managed by synchronisation.
Disabled and in-progress states
While synchronisation is disabled, existing structured sections remain unchanged. If a refresh is already in progress, wait for it to finish instead of sending duplicate requests.
Failure and recovery
Confirm that the PDF and thumbnail are accessible and use supported formats.
If extraction fails, keep the existing sections, correct the source and retry once.
Review the resulting draft before publishing; do not publish incomplete generated content.
If repeated retries fail, record the menu and refresh status for support rather than creating duplicate menus.
