<p>Setting a repository to manual mode prevents the assistant from transferring new files into that repository. You have to manually run <code>git annex get</code>.</p>
<p>To prevent the assistant from automatically adding files, you can click the pause button next to the current repository in the webapp.</p>

<p>Not sure, what you mean.</p>
<p>Disabling sync?
But that also disables sync, right? <img src="http://git-annex.branchable.com/smileys/smile4.png" alt=";-)" /> So, if I add a file manually (via command line) that file is not synced automatically, correct?</p>
<p>I do not see any other 'pause' button next to the repository.</p>
<p>I am fine with git-annex doing the syncing automatically for me, but I want to be in control over the files git annex actually uses.</p>
<p>If I just downloaded a big file, I might want to check it first before having git-annex move it to other repositories.</p>
Also confused by the manual modehttp://git-annex.branchable.com/forum/webapp_and_manual_mode/comment_3_f0739bf4304a91a5d4ec33ac2421c966/Ovidiu2014-05-18T06:39:54Z2014-05-18T06:39:54Z
<p>@Joeyh: would you mind explaining the modes maybe on their own wiki page?
I've got most of them but the sense and functioning of the manual method escapes me <img src="http://git-annex.branchable.com/smileys/ohwell.png" alt=":-/" /></p>
