Exercise 3: Turn On Settings Sync — Possible Solution ==================================================================== STEPS ------------------------------ 1. Click the accounts icon in the bottom-left corner of the Activity Bar (a small person-shaped icon) — or open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) and run "Settings Sync: Turn On." 2. Sign in with a Microsoft or GitHub account when prompted, per this chapter's own description of how Settings Sync authenticates. 3. A panel appears listing the categories available to sync: Settings, Keybindings, Snippets, Extensions, and UI State — each with its own checkbox/toggle. 4. Confirm which are currently checked (by default, typically all of them are enabled). 5. Click "Turn On" (or equivalent confirm button) to finish enabling sync. 6. To verify afterward, open the accounts icon menu again — it now shows "Settings Sync is On" (or similar), along with the same list of enabled categories, confirming the state persisted. WHY THIS WORKS AS AN ANSWER ------------------------------ This reuses the chapter's own two described entry points (the accounts icon, or the Command Palette command) interchangeably — either one reaches the identical Settings Sync setup flow. Explicitly checking which categories are enabled (rather than just turning it on and trusting it) directly ties back to this chapter's own list of exactly what Settings Sync covers: "settings, keybindings, snippets, installed extensions, and general UI state." Confirming this list matches what the exercise found is what proves the earlier parts of this chapter — the custom snippet from Exercise 1, the rebound key from Exercise 2 — will actually follow to a new machine once signed in there too, rather than staying stuck on just this one.
