Reference overview
Use Reference when you need a precise answer about a setting, field, permission, limit, supported scope, or deployment option. Reference pages are lookup-oriented; they do not replace the end-to-end procedures in Guides.

Guides or Reference?
- Choose Guides when you have an outcome and need a sequence of steps.
- Choose Reference when you already know the workflow and need a field, permission, limit, or setting.
- Choose Develop when you need endpoint details or API examples.
For example, use a replication guide to create and start a task, then use the relevant data source or replication reference page to check a field or supported option.
