While the integrated version control in Rasa X is great step forward in our workflow, I would like to suggest adding a manual button in the Rasa X dashboard to sync with the connected repository. From what I understood from the Rasa X logs, the repository is automatically synced in the background periodically. Unfortunately, this means that I cannot be sure that the data in the dashboard is up to date, and everytime I push a local change to the VCS, I end up refreshing several times before I can see the data in the dashboard with the latest changes. Training a relatively large dataset takes a very long time, so training with old data can be a massive waste of time.
Having a simple button to force syncing (as can be seen in the mockup below), along with a modal/snackbar confirming that the syncing was successful, or that the data was already up to date, would be a massive improvement along with the automatic background syncing.

Agreed, would be a good feature request. In the meantime if you want to be sure, you can also use the API to force sync: [Rasa X Documentation](https://rasa.com/docs/rasa-x/pages/http-api#operation/checkoutBranch)

Thanks for the suggestion, just created the feature request created [here](https://github.com/RasaHQ/rasa/issues/7332).
