Refer to the connector-specific documentation to see if it is supported. {% endhint %} For example, if a data source contains 10 reports and only 2 have been modified since a specified time, selecting that time frame allows the system to crawl only the 2 updated reports. This approach saves time and optimizes resource usage. The Delta Crawl option is available in the connector settings as shown below.
