I'm wondering if we could add a checkbox:
Automatically export config when updated?
This would save the trouble of having to remember to navigate to whatever entity tab of Structure Sync, and hit the Export button.
Perhaps we could run exports in each entity's hook_ENTITY_TYPE_presave()?

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
I recently found out about the Config Auto Export → module. Could you confirm if it does (or not?)?
If that module doesn't do what you want out-of-the-box (I suspect it might not), we may still need to add something to ping it when one of the things we are tracking changes.
