In support we are often sending the 'Advanced Sync Settings' article, however it explicitly referenced 'Delta/ Full syncs' which are an implementation detail that we do not wish t expose to our consumers going forward.

The article also contained a link to dead API docs.

When necessary, when advising our clients about Advanced Sync Settings, we want to be able to provide them with a 'one shot' article which they can read and go away with clear next steps in mind.

Have added http examples to the markdown code.

Clarified sync settings details and added examples for retrieving and updating sync settings.

Corrected spelling and improved clarity regarding data synchronization settings.

For most of our data types, we retrieve all available history. For financial statement data types (`balanceSheet`, `profitAndLoss`, `cashFlowStatement`), we retrieve 24 months of history. You can apply additional sync settings to change these defaults. This helps you limit the amount of data synchronized from the source platform.

[Google.Parens] Use parentheses judiciously.

- When using advanced sync settings, settle on a uniform approach across your data types (e.g. all data types request 24 months' data). Some data types share requests, and applying different approaches may cause inconsistency.

- Advanced sync settings can be applied to all data types, but we advise you do not set them for reference data, such as customers, suppliers, chart of accounts, tax rates, tracking categories, and items.

[Google.Passive] In general, use active voice instead of passive voice ('be applied').

@pj-simpson as discussed, URL needs to be amended once the endpoint is back in the OAS

For example, to configure advanced settings for our `invoices` data type, send the following request to the endpoint:
