Confirm the account and destination before syncing existing invoices. This is a setup record, not evidence of a live integration test.

WORKED EXAMPLE
Selected destination: My Drive / Finance / Client invoices.
Sync mode: Sent and paid invoices.
1061: Sent, already linked to a Drive file -> skipped.
1062: Sent, no linked file -> eligible for upload.
1063: Paid, no linked file -> eligible for upload.
1064: Pending -> outside archive selection.
If both uploads succeed: synced 2, skipped 1, failed 0.
Open the new PDFs and compare their contents with the intended records.

CHECK BEFORE AND AFTER SYNC
[ ] Intended Google account authorized
[ ] Default InvoiceAgent folder opened and identity confirmed
[ ] Desired destination selected before existing-invoice sync
[ ] Folder sharing reviewed in Google Drive
[ ] Sent-only or sent-and-paid timing chosen deliberately
[ ] Eligible existing records reviewed
[ ] Sync result counts recorded
[ ] Actual PDFs opened; invoice, recipient, amount, period checked
[ ] Archive errors compared with separate email delivery status
[ ] Older files checked separately after any destination change
[ ] Existing copies reviewed before disconnect/reconnect recovery

IF THE CHECK FAILS
Folder list unavailable: reconnect as directed by account UI, then verify destination again.
Upload failed: inspect the sync error, repair connection or folder access, and rerun eligible archive work. Do not resend a successfully delivered client email to fix a Drive failure.
Skipped but missing file: a stored file link causes skipping without a fresh existence check. Inspect the original archive for moved or deleted PDFs.
New destination: earlier linked files are not migrated. Organize old copies separately.
Disconnect/reconnect: existing Drive PDFs remain while local links are cleared; another sync can create duplicates.
