## Bidirectional Sync

Bidirectional sync builds on top of the Git Sync extension and lets you manage your Segment workspace directly in GitHub. After you configure and enable bidirectional sync, Segment automatically listens for pull requests in your repository and manages all related workspace changes. Segment will not apply any changes unless the pull request has met all merge requirements and can be merged.

Could we tighten that last sentence to something like "Segment only applies changes from pull requests that meet all merge requirements"?

Can we change the last sentence please? Segment won't apply changes that are merged, only those that the user explicitly accepts by commenting segment apply so might be a little bit misleading? The flow is as follows:
