161+    Even if the source cluster is balanced, ``mongosync`` doesn't
162+    ensure balance of the destination cluster. Because ``mongosync``
163+    doesn't support the execution of sharding operations during
164+    migration, you must wait until it is safe to accept writes 
165+    to rebalance the destination cluster. See :ref:`sharding-balancing`
166+    for guidance on how to rebalance the cluster and 
167+    :ref:`sharded cluster limitations <c2c-sharded-limitations>`
168+    for information on sharded cluster limitations in ``mongosync``.
