Changes Made

1. Sync Operations - Enhanced Cards

Before: Simple buttons with no context
After: Beautiful card grid with:

  • Icons for each operation type
  • Item counts (e.g., "Send 142 posts, 23 pages, 15 products")
  • Descriptions explaining what each does
  • Last sync time (e.g., "Last sync: 2 hours ago")
  • Loading states with spinner
  • Hover effects with elevation

Example Card:

┌─────────────────────────────────┐
│ [📄] Sync Posts to IGNY8       │
│                                 │
│ Send 142 posts, 23 pages, 15   │
│ products from WordPress to      │
