## Description

_“The man who makes the best use of his time is the one who will be able to offer
the most help to others.”_ – [Plato, The Republic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_(Plato))

**xfive Plato – Reliable Sync Watcher for ACF** is designed for teams of developers
collaborating on WordPress projects that use ACF’s `acf-json` feature.

This plugin monitors your local JSON files for any Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) 
field groups that are out of sync with the site’s database and displays a clear,
timely notice when discrepancies are detected. This helps prevent accidental overwrites,
missed updates, and frustrating merge conflicts during development.

You’ll still have the option to ignore the warning if needed—but only proceed if
you’re confident in what you’re doing and understand the risks of overriding field
group data!

Whether you’re working solo or as part of a team, **xfive Plato – Reliable Sync 
Watcher for ACF** adds a simple but powerful layer of protection to your ACF workflow—
so you can code with confidence and keep your field groups in harmony.
