• A question: If setting "'allow_anonymous" and "immediate_sync" allows only the new article to be replicated instead of the entire snapshot. Then why would these settings "FALSE" not be the default?

    I would have thought this would be the preferred option for most users.

    Settings are false by default. Refer link : Replication settings

    But I noticed that these settings get set to TRUE if we use the GUI for setting up replication.

    When we use sp_addpublication sp, both are FALSE.
