-The REDCapSync package benefits from storing/caching key information about your different projects. The two most important pieces of information is the `short_name` and `directory` where it's stored. This is enough information to be able to find where you have chosen to securely store your files, load what has already been collected, and then communicate with R to fetch any new updates. REDCapSync's ability to store your projects in a standardized directory is what allows for powerful pipeline tasks.
