# Auto sync

The `Auto sync` feature allows you to synchronize articles automatically at regular time intervals. Once configured, the system checks for updates made to the articles during that interval and automatically updates them in the existing job. This ensures that the ingested articles remain up to date, so the responses generated include the most recent information.

**Note:** This option is available only for `SharePoint`, `ServiceNow`, and `Website` connectors.
