Limited-mode is commonly used to troubleshoot which feature?

• A. Synchrony
• B. Cache invalidation
• C. Page permissions
• D. Notifications

Answer: (A)

Limited mode targets the real-time collaboration layer, Synchrony, to help you isolate issues during troubleshooting. By enabling Limited mode, the system reduces or throttles how Synchrony handles co-editing and presence, which lets you see whether a reported problem is tied to the collaboration engine or to other parts of Confluence. If the issue changes or goes away in Limited mode, that points to Synchrony as the source and guides you to investigate its performance, client compatibility, or server configuration. If the problem persists even in Limited mode, the root cause is likely outside Synchrony, and you can focus on areas like permissions, notifications, or caching. In short, Limited mode is used to diagnose collaboration-related problems, making Synchrony the area to check first.
