       B)The subscriber defines a connection to the syndicator and receives the data replicated from                the libraries specified by the syndicator.

3- What are Syndication methods ? 

A) Live items:

Live item syndication is mostly used when syndicating to a staging or delivery server. The following items are syndicated:

• Published
• Expired

Draft items, projects and items in a project are not syndicated.

B) Live and projects:

The advantage of using "Live and projects" syndication is to gradually syndicate projects to a staging or delivery server rather that waiting to syndicate all the items in a project after they all achieve a published state. The following items are syndicated:

• Published
• Expired
• Projects
• Draft items in a project

Draft items outside of projects are not syndicated.

C) All items:

All item syndication is mostly used when syndicating between servers within an authoring environment. The following items are syndicated:

• Published
• Expired
• Projects
• Draft items in a project
• Other draft items
• Versions
• Deleted items
