Bookmarks Sync
I have some Bookmarks on my laptop. I have some of these Bookmarks (Not all) on my tablet, plus some other Bookmarks.
If I sync them, which direction does the sync work in? Will all my Bookmarks on my laptop now appear on my tablet (Which I do not want to happen)? Will all my Bookmarks on my tablet now appear on my laptop (Which I do want)? Will I end up with two copies of most Bookmarks, because all my laptop Bookmarks are transfered to my tablet, plus all my tablet Bookmarks are transfered to my laptop?
I cannot find any explanatioin of what Sync actually does.

Sync works in both directions, data on each connected device is uploaded to the Sync server and merged to all other devices. It may not be easy to predict is you end up with duplicates if some bookmarks exist on multiple devices, possibly in different folders as I don't know if there are docs that document such edge cases. Note that you can always restore an earlier JSON backup after you have disconnected Sync or at least disable syncing bookmarks.
