→Syncing with an External Editor
* For syncing to work with an external editor, make sure that '''only one preview window''' (the preview of the document you are currently editing) is opened in TeXShop; otherwise, syncing may not work. Depending on the editor, you may also need to keep only one source window open in your editor.
* If syncing with an external editor still does not appear to work, and you are sure that you have followed the instructions and your configuration is correct, make sure that the relevant “magic lines” appear in your source document and try typesetting your document once '''from within TeXShop,''' by selecting the menu entry ''Typeset > Typeset'' (the PDF of your document must be opened in TeXShop, of course).
* Even if ''Configure for External Editor'' is checked in you preferences, always open the <code>.tex</code> file in TeXShop, rather than the <code>.pdf</code> file. TeXShop will open the PDF anyway, but by choosing the <code>.tex</code> file, it may have an opportunity to parse the “magic lines” of the source code and configure itself correctly.
