Where is the Sync with active document button in Visual Studio?

Question

Where is the Sync with active document button in Visual Studio?

I know that I can press Alt + Shift + L and I will get the Sync with active document. I also know that I can enable in the Options the feature to work every time I focus on another file.

But I can not find a button in the VS interface to do that. Is it even present? I would expect such a button be somewhere in the top of the interface of the VS. Somewhere near the comment/uncomment buttons (that is just my feeling that it is there, I have no proofs or reasons to think so).

Answer 1

I know this might sound silly, but I spent about a day trying to figure out where the button went in the latest VS2019 (Version 16.10.2) update.

After one complete day of using the keyboard shortcut instead, I realised that the Icon has changed to a different Icon.

Note: The Track Active Item in Solution Explorer checkbox should be unchecked to see this Icon, as posted by @Sandro Stadler.

Answer 2

Pretty simple.

If you check this option, the document and solution explorer will be automatically synchronized and the icon will be hidden.

Deselect to show the icon in the solution manager.
