![Configure Options](/images/secret-syncs/render/render-sync-options.png)

  - **Initial Sync Behavior**: Determines how Infisical should resolve the initial sync.
    - **Overwrite Destination Secrets**: Removes any secrets at the destination endpoint not present in Infisical.
    - **Import Secrets (Prioritize Infisical)**: Imports secrets from the Render service before syncing, prioritizing values from Infisical over Render when keys conflict.
    - **Import Secrets (Prioritize Render)**: Imports secrets from the Render service before syncing, prioritizing values from Render over Infisical when keys conflict.
  - **Key Schema**: Template that determines how secret names are transformed when syncing, using `{{secretKey}}` as a placeholder for the original secret name and `{{environment}}` for the environment.
  - **Auto-Sync Enabled**: If enabled, secrets will automatically be synced from the source location when changes occur. Disable to enforce manual syncing only.
  - **Disable Secret Deletion**: If enabled, Infisical will not remove secrets from the sync destination. Enable this option if you intend to manage some secrets manually outside of Infisical.

6. Configure the **Details** of your Render Sync, then click **Next**.
