Best Practices

  • Schedule during off-peak hours — Run syncs when agent usage is low to avoid performance impact.
  • Match frequency to content change rate — Sync frequently for high-change sources, less often for stable content.
  • Use Sync Now after adding new content — Trigger a manual sync immediately after uploading or connecting new documents rather than waiting for the next scheduled run.
