 This is actually a big subject that has spawned an array of third-party commercial sync tools, with which I have no personal experience.

 ===== Mobile Devices =====
-Mobile devices can use the ZWC (Mobile) autocomplete and they can search the GAL.  It's not the prettiest mail client in existence, but it is universally available without installing/configuring an app and has these features.

 There is a dizzying array of mail client apps available or preinstalled on mobile devices.  I am discussing apps with configured MS Exchange accounts (Zimbra).
-In general, apps with configured Zimbra (MS Exchange) accounts will all sync contacts from the server.  In general, it is always the user's default Contacts that get synchronized...not the GAL.
+In general, apps with configured Zimbra (MS Exchange) accounts will all sync contacts from the server to and from the mobile device.  In general, it is always the user's default Contacts that get synchronized...not the GAL.
+<note important>If your default Contacts folder is not already synchronizing to your mobile device, check your mobile device account settings.</note>
 One common strategy to access GAL contacts on mobile devices is to copy or sync GAL contacts into the user's default Contacts so they become available on (are synchronized to) the mobile device.
 ===== Copy GAL Contacts Using the ZWC =====
+:!: Note that this is a **user-maintained** method of accessing GAL contacts on mobile devices.
 You can copy all the desired contacts from the GAL to your personal contacts easily using the ZWC:
 **ZWC -> Contacts (tab) -> Search GAL (droplist) -> * (asterisk)**
+{{ :internet:mail:zimbra:zwc_search_gal.png?direct&750 |ZWC GAL Search}}
 Then:
-**Select (desired contacts and distribution lists) -> Add to Contacts (right-click)**
+**Select (desired contacts and distribution lists) -> (right-click) Add to Contacts**
