# Can I manually trigger data upload?

**Q:**\
Can I manually send or sync data from the Agent app?

**A:**\
Yes. You can manually trigger a data upload by opening the **Sync Data Settings** screen and selecting **“Sync Now”** (if available), or by using the **Admin dashboard** to send a remote “Sync Now” command.

The manual sync option is helpful when:

* You’ve just enabled Internet connectivity.
* You want to verify the device is correctly sending data.
* You need to force an immediate update on the dashboard.

If the Internet is still unavailable, the command will be queued and processed later when a connection is detected.
