How to force sync in SonarLint?

Our team uses SonarLint in IntelliJ and VSCode with connected mode. After I make changes to our Quality Profile in SonarCloud, is there a way in the IDE to immediately force a sync to download the updated quality profile settings?

Hello @thomasj02 ,

A product decision has been made to remove the feature to force synchronization as we have periodic synchronization happening every hour. Plus, the IDE receives smart notifications from SonarCloud/SonarQube for specific events (see docs for details).

Can I ask what changes to the Quality Profile you make specifically? I will ping our product managers to track requests for additional events for smart notifications or reducing the synchronization period.

A possible workaround (which Iā€™m aware is not user friendly) is restarting the IDE which will restart SonarLint and force a new synchronization.

Best,
