# Features

Feature tabs show up only when **both** providers support that feature.

Most users enable **one feature at a time**.

{% hint style="success" %}
The safest order is Watchlist, then Ratings, then History if needed.
{% endhint %}

### Quick start

* Start **one-way**.
* Enable **one** feature.
* Run **dry run** first.

Related: [Configure Pairs](/crosswatch/settings/configure-pairs.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
Watchlist is the safest first feature.

History is the riskiest.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Two-way adds risk across every feature.

Conflicts, duplicates, overwrites, and propagated deletes become more likely when both sides can write.
{% endhint %}

### Pick a feature

<table data-view="cards"><thead><tr><th>Feature</th><th data-card-target data-type="content-ref">Open</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Watchlist</strong><br>Sync “plan to watch” items.</td><td><a href="/spaces/3rh5THg1PdhVsBt3GALo/pages/KNnBRgpRsxjPp2egBawm">/spaces/3rh5THg1PdhVsBt3GALo/pages/KNnBRgpRsxjPp2egBawm</a></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Ratings</strong><br>Sync rating values and timestamps when available.</td><td><a href="/spaces/3rh5THg1PdhVsBt3GALo/pages/g1Zud9UhBjNypsiziVe0">/spaces/3rh5THg1PdhVsBt3GALo/pages/g1Zud9UhBjNypsiziVe0</a></td></tr><tr><td><strong>History</strong><br>Sync watched or completed state.</td><td><a href="/spaces/3rh5THg1PdhVsBt3GALo/pages/7m19m7dZVqYr1WaT3OjB">/spaces/3rh5THg1PdhVsBt3GALo/pages/7m19m7dZVqYr1WaT3OjB</a></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Progress</strong><br>Sync resume position between media servers.</td><td><a href="/spaces/3rh5THg1PdhVsBt3GALo/pages/n575tse3rRGlm0zePIAq">/spaces/3rh5THg1PdhVsBt3GALo/pages/n575tse3rRGlm0zePIAq</a></td></tr></tbody></table>

### Recommended patterns

{% columns %}
{% column %}

#### Lower risk

* Watchlist
* Ratings
* one-way pairs
  {% endcolumn %}

{% column %}

#### Higher risk

* History
* two-way writes
* remove operations
  {% endcolumn %}
  {% endcolumns %}

#### Watchlist

Good for one-way or two-way.

Start one-way anyway.

#### Ratings

Prefer one-way.

Two-way tends to create noise.

#### History

Best as a **one-time seed**.

Then disable History in the pair.

Use scrobbling for new plays.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.crosswatch.app/crosswatch/settings/configure-pairs/features.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
