# Remote Settings Initial Data In order to reduce the amount of data to be downloaded on first synchronization, a JSON dump from the records present on the remote server can be shipped with the release. A bot will update the files automatically. For collections that should not be kept in sync, put the JSON dumps in ../static-dumps/ instead. Dumps from dumps/ and static-dumps/ are packaged into the same resource path, thus looking the same to the client code and also implying that filenames must be unique between the two directories.
