# Synchronization settings Page

This tool detects and synchronizes changes from one Data Virtuality instance to another. The first step is to select the Data Virtuality Synchronization objects. Please select the items that should be synchronized to the remote CData Virtuality instance. The following objects can be synchronized:

- Virtual schemas: Dropped and newly created schemas.
- Views/procedures: Newly created, dropped and altered views/procedures
- Optimizations: Enabled and disabled Optimizations

When executing a synchronization, all selected objects will be adjusted on the remote instance. This means that:

- objects newly created locally will be created on the remote instance
- objects dropped locally will be dropped on the remote instance
- objects that have been altered locally will be updated on the remote instance to match the local state
