# SynchronizeKeepDatastore

The `SynchronizeKeepDatastore` parameter specifies whether the datastore (`.db`) files created by a connector remain on the disk after a synchronize action has finished.

If this parameter is set to `True`, a datastore file remains on the disk. When the next synchronize action runs, this file is checked by the connector so that it can index only documents that have changed since the last synchronize and can delete documents that have been deleted since the last synchronize.

If this parameter is set to `False`, the datastore file is deleted at the end of each synchronize action. The next synchronize action fetches all documents and does not delete old documents.

Type: | Boolean
