# sync — Promote delta specs to canonical
Update the project's canonical specifications (`lawbook/specs/`) with a change's
delta specs, without archiving the change. Use this when the specs should
become the source of truth but the change isn't finished (e.g. multi-PR work).
`lawbook_change` (action: sync) is a deterministic copy — it is blind to the code. So before
promoting, YOU reconcile the delta specs against what was actually built, so the
specs that become canonical describe reality, not just the original draft.
Read `steps/01-confirm.md` and do only what it says.
