+ <h2>Symbolic Link Handling</h2>
+
+ <p>
+ FreeFileSync lets you choose to include symbolic links (also called symlinks or soft links)
+ when scanning directories rather than skipping over them. When included, you can select between two ways to handle them:
+ </p>
+
+ <ol>
+ <li><b>Follow:</b>
+ Treat symbolic links like the object they are pointing to. Links
+ pointing to directories are traversed like ordinary directories and
+ the target of each link is copied during synchronization.<br>
+
+ <li><b>Direct:</b>
+ Evaluate the symbolic link object
+ directly. Symbolic links will be shown as separate entities.
+ Links pointing to directories are not traversed and the link object
+ is copied directly during synchronization.
+ </ol>
+ <br>
+
+ <div class="bluebox">
+ <b>Note</b>
+ <ul style="margin: 0">
+ <li>Under Windows the symbolic link options apply to symbolic links, volume mount points and NTFS junction points.
+ <li>Copying symbolic links requires FreeFileSync to be started with administrator rights.
+ </ul>
+ </div>
+ <br>
+
+ <h2>I. Compare by file time and size</h2>
+ <p>
+ This variant considers two files with the same name as equal when both modification
+ time <b>and</b> file size match. The following categories are distinguished:
+ </p>
+ <ol style="list-style: upper-roman">
+ <li><b>file exists on one side only</b>
+ <ul>
+ <li>left only
+ <li>right only
+ </ul>
+
+ <li><b>file exists on both sides</b>
+ <ol style="list-style: lower-roman">
+ <li><b>different date</b>
+ <ul>
+ <li>left newer
+ <li>right newer
+ </ul>
+ <li><b>same date</b>
+ <ul>
+ <li>equal
+ <li>conflict (same date, different size)
+ </ul>
+ </ol>
+ </ol>
+ <br>
+
+ <h2>II. Compare by file content</h2>
+ <p>
+ Two files with the same name are marked as equal if and only if they have
+ the same content. This option is more useful for consistency checks
+ rather than backup operations since a bitwise comparison can be slow.
+ </p>
+ <ol style="list-style: upper-roman">

+ <li>equal
+ <li>different content
+ </ul>
+ </ol>
+ <br>
+
+ <h2>III. Compare by file size</h2>
+ <p>
+ Two files with the same name are considered equal if they have
+ the same file size.
+ Since it's possible for files with the same size to have different content, this variant should only be used when file modification times are not
+ available or reliable, e.g. in certain MTP and FTP synchronization scenarios.
