# Replication Targets

To start [Collective replication](/v1/docs/collective-replication-v6-7), you will create a target from the source Collective.

## Before you start

Before creating a target:

- Create a tag for the target Collective in [**System > Tags**](/v1/docs/configure-tags-v6-7). This tag will be used in the source Collective to denote which entities are eligible for replication to the target Collective.
  - There can be multiple tags for each target, and tags can be used for multiple targets. For example, the tags `office_a` and `region_b` can apply to the same target as well as others.

## Configuring a target for replication

While in the **source Collective**:

1. Go to **Replication Targets** (System > Replication Targets).
2. Click **+Add** and enter values in the following fields:

- ***Name***. Enter a name for the target Collective.
- ***Notes***. Optional. Enter any notes about the target.
- ***Item Replication Tags***. Select **+Add** and select the tag you created for the child Collective

1. Select **Save**, then select **Actions** > *Copy key to clipboard*.
2. You will then go to the **target Collective** to configure the [replication source](/v1/docs/replication-source-v6-7).

### Replication Target Actions

Action buttons are accessed by clicking the three dots icon (![Three circular shapes stacked vertically on a dark background, selected to access a menu.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/e7482ce5-acfa-4c3b-b76c-b6c32472644a/Images/Documentation/three_dots.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-26T23%3A24%3A12Z&se=2026-10-27T00%3A24%3A12Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=6%2BInVB2frgYOYs1jOz1miPnvoYc4iDthQAhqtyPWYQc%3D)) to the right of each item in the page or from the **Actions** button within the item. They are contextual, changing depending on the type of item and the state of the item. The action button for replication targets displays the following option:

- ***Copy key to clipboard***. Copies the registration key to be pasted in the Replication Source of the source Collective.
- ***Clone***. Select to clone the replication target.
- ***Delete.*** Delete the target.

### Replication Target Actions menu

The Actions menu at the top of the Replication Targets page enables the following actions:

- ***Add tag***. Opens the *Add Item Replication Tag* window. Use the drop-down to select the tag to add. You can add tags to more than one target at a time.
- ***Remove tag***. Opens the *Remove Item Replication Tag* window. Use the drop-down to select the tag to remove. You can remove tags from more than one target at a time.

### Replication Status Details

When Collective replication is initiated, you can go into the source Collective to see the status of the replication:

1. In the **Replication Targets** page, click on the health status of a target.
2. The **Replication Status Details** window opens, displaying a list of entities and how many have completed replication. Statuses include:
  - ***Healthy****.* All entities were replicated successfully.
  - ***Warning****.* Only some entities were replicated.
  - ***Error****.* Replication has failed. Details about the errors are provided.
