The "Cross-Device Sync" feature gives the option to be able to edit and view orders across multiple devices.
Please note that the cross-device sync feature slows down operations overall because it requires constant sync between the devices.
Pro Tip: If you would like to apply a restriction that does not let to edit an order via one device that was created from another device, in that case, you would need to enable a setting named "Require the employee to unlock before editing the order if opened from another device".
