:* Always Full Sync: The app downloads all entity records (as if it was never synced before). In rare cases, performing full sync might be more efficient than the standard algorithm. However, in most cases, full sync increases synchronization time; sometimes dramatically.

:* Incremental with Sync Filter: The app downloads all changed records that match the sync filter. This can save a lot of network traffic. However, the risk is that client might not get the information that some server records stopped matching the sync filter. This option works best for immutable records. | :* Incremental with Sync Filter: The app downloads all changed records that match the sync filter. This can save a lot of network traffic.

: Note: [[Synchronization_steps#SyncAnalyzer|SyncAnalyzer]] can override the above setting by enforcing full sync for performance reasons. You can switch off SyncAnalyzer using Woodford [[configuration]] ('''Disable Sync Analyzer'''). | : Note: [[Synchronization_steps#SyncAnalyzer|SyncAnalyzer]] can override the above setting by enforcing full sync for performance reasons.
