# Sync & scheduling

## Sync & scheduling

Every source syncs on a schedule.

Choose the cadence that matches how often the content changes.

### Which schedules can you choose?

Replai supports these sync cadences:

* **Daily**
* **Weekly**
* **Monthly** on the first day of the month
* **Yearly**
* **Custom** day picker

{% hint style="info" %}
Daily is the default.
{% endhint %}

### When should you use each cadence?

| Cadence     | Best for                                     |
| ----------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| **Daily**   | Docs and content that changes often          |
| **Weekly**  | Stable help content                          |
| **Monthly** | Low-change policy content                    |
| **Yearly**  | Rarely updated archives                      |
| **Custom**  | Teams that refresh on a fixed internal cycle |

### When should you run a manual sync?

Run a manual sync when you need fresh content before the next scheduled refresh.

This is useful after a release, policy update, or large docs cleanup.

### How are new and changed pages handled?

New and changed content appears after the next successful sync, as long as it stays in scope.

For GitBook, new pages auto-sync only when you selected all pages.

If you selected a subset, reselect new pages manually.

### What should you watch after a big content change?

Review the refreshed source scope after large edits.

Large moves, removals, or scope changes can affect what the assistant can answer from.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://replai-1.gitbook.io/replai-docs/connectors-sources/sync-and-scheduling.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
