@qkdreyer thanks for the PR. I've dropped a comment to help with linking internally.

## Automatic Synchronize

In all licensed editions, Chocolatey syncs the state of **already installed Chocolatey packages** (nupkg files) to the state of the software they are linked up with - so if the software is uninstalled or upgraded outside of Chocolatey, it removes the package or notes the upgrade. This behavior is known as automatic synchronization or autosync for short. There is also choco sync, which is different and is covered in [Sync Command](#sync-command) below.

We don't reference the docs repository in this way. Instead, we use xref links that are much more flexible should things move around. You can see examples all over the docs.
