The Sync feature can copy over the following content between your stores,

How do I set up Sync?
Syncing is automatically setup between stores if certain criteria are met.
Both stores are required to be on a paid plan that has the Sync feature available.

Can I choose what I sync between my stores?
Custom Elements and Data Collections will always be copied over, however, you can choose which pages, blogs, products and snippets that you copy between your stores.

System messages
The Sync feature has a few system messages that you may come across when you are using this feature.
"Missing product in destination store" is a message that will appear if the destination store does not have the same product in its catalogue. Adding the product to the destination store will allow you to sync this product page. In order to sync, it is required that there are products with matching handles in both the origin and destination stores. Shogun will use the handle of products to sync the content.
"Missing product collection in destination store" is a message that will appear if the destination store does not have the same product collection in its catalogue. Adding the product collection to the destination store will allow you to sync this product collection page. In order to sync, it is required that there are products with matching handles in both the origin and destination stores. Shogun will use the handle of products to sync the content.
"Missing blog in destination store" is a message that will appear if the destination store is missing the blog that an article belongs to. A blog with the same name will be required on the destination store to ensure that the article is placed into the correct location on your destination store.
The "destination page is newer" message will appear when the version of the page in the destination store is newer than the version of the page on the current store.
