# Data Transfer Options
|
|
|
|
A connection links a source to a destination and defines how your data will sync. After you have created a connection, you can modify any of the configuration settings or stream settings.
|
|
|
|
## Configure Connection Settings
|
|
|
|
Configuring the connection settings allows you to manage various aspects of the sync, such as how often data syncs and where data is written.
|
|
|
|
To configure these settings:
|
|
|
|
1. In the Airbyte UI, click **Connections** and then click the connection you want to change.
|
|
|
|
2. Click the **Settings** tab.
|
|
|
|
3. Click the **Advanced seetings** dropdown to display all settings.
|
|
|
|
:::note
|
|
|
|
These settings apply to all streams in the connection.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
You can configure the following settings:
|
|
|
|
| Connection Setting | Description |
|
|
| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| Connection Name | A custom name for your connection |
|
|
| [Schedule Type](/using-airbyte/core-concepts/sync-schedules.md) | Configure how often data syncs (can be scheduled, cron, or manually triggered) |
|
|
| [Destination Namespace](/using-airbyte/core-concepts/namespaces.md) | Determines where the replicated data is written to in the destination |
|
|
| [Destination Stream Prefix](/using-airbyte/configuring-schema.md) | (Optional) Adds a prefix to each table name in the destination |
|
|
| [Detect and propagate schema changes](using-airbyte/schema-change-management.md) | Set how Airbyte handles schema changes in the source |
|
|
| [Connection Data Residency](/cloud/managing-airbyte-cloud/manage-data-residency.md) | Determines where data will be processed (Cloud only) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Configure Stream Settings
|
|
|
|
In addition to connection configuration settings, you apply the following specific settings per individual stream. This allows for greater flexibility in how your data syncs.
|
|
|
|
| Stream Setting | Description |
|
|
| --------- | ----------- |
|
|
| [Stream selection](/using-airbyte/configuring-schema.md) | Determine if the stream syncs to your destination |
|
|
| [Sync mode](/using-airbyte/core-concepts/sync-modes/README.md) | Configure how Airbyte reads data from the source and writes it |
|
|
| [Cursor selection](/using-airbyte/configuring-schema.md) | Select what field the stream uses to incrementally read from the source |
|
|
| [Primary key selection](/using-airbyte/configuring-schema.md) | Select what field the stream uses to determine uniqueness of a record |
|
|
| [Field selection](/using-airbyte/configuring-schema.md) | (Optional) Disable a partial set of fields Airbyte should not sync to the destination | |
