This is only relevant if you are pulling content of this type on your other subscribing sites manually. See here for an explanation of previews: Pull Content Manually.

Push menu items

You can configure per entity type whether menu link items that link to the specific entity should be syndicated as well when the entity is pushed.

Type and Field: File

Files are syndicated along with their file contents, so they are an exact replica as on the source site. If you don’t want to syndicate the same file to save storage, we recommend you use a CDN or DAM tool to manage these assets.

Type: Menu items

Ignore disabled

...

By default, Content Sync will distribute all menu items from all menus. You can use this option to only syndicate menu items from specific menus.

Field: User reference

As mentioned above we don’t syndicate user accounts. We do syndicate user references however. So if the same user exists on both the publishing and the subscribing sites that either has the same email address or the same user name, we will assign the user accordingly on the subscribing site as well. You can configure whether to use the user name or email address for matching.

By default, links to other content will remain local meaning that when you link to another content on the publishing site, the link on the subscribing site will point to the same referenced content on the subscribing site. If the content doesn’t exist on the subscribing site, the field will be empty. You can use the Push as absolute URL option to change this- if set, links to content will go back to the source site of that content.

Type: Node (Content)

By default, unpublished content won’t be pushed to Content Sync. This is based on revisions in Drupal, so as long as a revision isn’t published, it won’t be syndicated. There’s one special use case however that we also support and that is to Explicitly unpublish content. So if you completely unpublish a content item, you usually want the Unpublished status to still be syndicated to your remote sites, so to unpublish it on all sites.

By default, Content Sync will distribute not only the content you are pushing directly but also the content, media elements, tags etc that you assigned to the content through entity reference fields. You can disable this behaviour per field by unchecking the Push referenced entities option.
