Replication settings

By default, two replicas exchange all edits, additions, and deletions if the servers the replicas are on have the necessary access. However, you can customize replication. For example, to save disk space, you can prevent the transfer of irrelevant documents. Using replication settings, you can:

You can specify replication settings when you create a replica or on an existing replica. You can specify some replication settings for multiple replicas at once from one replica. You must have Manager access to a replica to set replication settings for it.

CAUTION: Replication settings are not intended to be used as a security measure.

This table summarizes the available replication settings. An asterisk (*) marks the settings you can manage for multiple replicas from a central source replica.
