resynchronizing

Matching clocks again

Resynchronizing is the process of bringing things back into alignment after they've fallen out of step.

Digital devices resynchronize data when local and cloud copies diverge: The app is resynchronizing your files after the outage.

Audio and video tracks that have drifted apart need resynchronizing.

The word implies a return to a previous state of harmony rather than achieving synchronization for the first time.
