UX: Improve first time sync user experience #100346

Description

Problem

When turning on sync on secondary machine, it asks to either replace or merge the synced data. There is also an option to "Show Synced Data" which leads to a confusing flow:

From this point, there is nothing guiding the user back through the flow to continue to turn on sync and is quite confusing. I would expect a better guided experience to:

  1. View the difference of the local and synced data
  2. Choose to either replace or merge
  3. Complete the sync process

Proposal

Create a specific view for this scenario where a user can view the diff between the local and synced data and then allow them to either replace/merge all or do it one by one:
