+The following table lists how each write mode behaves in different replication modes:

 ### Additional flags and features
 - You can provide the `--lazy-init` flag while using `--truncate-existing` or `--replace-existing`. This instructs Replicant to replace the existing data at the last moment. By default, Replicant removes the existing data during Replicant's initialization phase.
 - Replicant has another write mode `--synchronize-deletes` that only applies to [delta-snapshot replication](#replicant-delta-snapshot-mode). When you start Replicant in `delta-snapshot` mode with the `--synchronize-deletes` flag, the following events occur:
