+Reconfigure ``mongosync`` During Synchronization
+------------------------------------------------
+
+.. important:: 
+
+   Only the following settings can be adjusted during a migration. 
+   Other settings **must** remain unchanged between ``mongosync`` restarts.
+
+While ``mongosync`` is syncing, you can reconfigure the :option:`--config`, :option:`--disableTelemetry`,
+:option:`--loadLevel`, :option:`--logPath`, :option:`--port`, and :option:`--verbosity` options 
+by performing the following steps: 
+
+.. procedure::
+   :style: normal
+
+   .. step:: (Optional) Pause the ``mongosync`` processes
+   
+      Run :ref:`c2c-api-pause` on each running ``mongosync`` process.
+      
+      You can resume the ``mongosync`` processes later from the paused
+      state, as shown in the final step.
+      
+      .. tip::
+
+         If you don't want to immediately resume data synchronization
+         operations after reconfiguration, consider pausing the
+         ``mongosync`` processes. This is useful if you're coordinating
+         operations from multiple ``mongosync`` processes.
+      
+   .. step:: Stop the ``mongosync`` processes 
+
+      Use your operating system to stop each running ``mongosync`` process. 
+      For the specific steps, see your operating system documentation.
+   
+   .. step:: (Optional) Update your configuration file
+
+      If you used the :option:`--config` option to set the path to a configuration file 
+      when you first initialized ``mongosync``, update this configuration file with the new value for each setting.
+
+   .. step:: Initialize the ``mongosync`` processes
+
+      If you updated a configuration file in the last step, initialize 
+      the ``mongosync`` processes with the :option:`--config` option 
+      set to the path of the updated configuration file:
+      
+      .. code-block:: console
+
+         mongosync --config <configPath>
+
+      If you did  *not*  use the :option:`--config` option when you first initialized ``mongosync``, 
+      initialize the ``mongosync`` processes with the command line options set to their updated values:
+
+      .. code-block:: console
+
+         mongosync \
+               --cluster0 "<cluster0_connection_string>" \
+               --cluster1 "<cluster1_connection_string>" \
+               --loadLevel <newLevel> 
+
+      For more information, see :ref:`Initialize mongosync <c2c-initialize>`.
+
+   .. step:: Start or Resume the ``mongosync`` processes 
+
+      If you paused any ``mongosync`` processes earlier in the optional first step, 
+      run :ref:`c2c-api-resume` on the paused ``mongosync`` processes.
+
+      If you stopped any ``mongosync`` processes without using :ref:`c2c-api-pause`, 
+      run :ref:`c2c-api-start` on the stopped ``mongosync`` processes. 
+      For more detailed instructions, see :ref:`c2c-quickstart-synchronize`. 
+
+      ``mongosync`` resumes the sync roughly where it was before you stopped the earlier proceses.
+      Any partitions that were in progress at the time of termination will restart from the beginning.
