The use of user defined waypoints

I then wanted to have that waypoint available on my Skydemon Plan (on my Win 11 laptop). I couldn't figure out how to get the waypoint onto PC plan so had to ask the Skydemon helpdesk. As usual, a quick response. However, the process is very "clunky" and took approximately 10 separate actions to get the waypoint "synced" to SD plan. Could this be an area for future improvement to make the waypoint "sync" operation more user friendly? Thanks Tony

This problem specifically is because they are "dropped" waypoints which by necessity go into an unsyncable folder, and the process of moving them from that folder into a different folder is a little clunky.
