According to the Embarcadero’s docwiki:
“Sync Edit mode in Delphi allows you to change all occurrences of an identifier when you change one instance of that identifier. When you enter Sync Edit mode, you can tab to each highlighted identifier in your current Code Editor window.”
The difference of the Sync Edit feature in Delphi from the usual Rename refactoring from Refactor! (for example) is that a declaration of an identifier may not exist. In this case the Rename is simple not available.
