Hi, we are using Typesense with Firebase using the official Typesense Firebase Extension. We have successfully setup the whole flow with backfil completed and it works correctly . But I have one question, can we safely remove the typesense_sync collection since the backfill is done and any new documents in the collection will get synced to our Typesense instance without the need for the typesense_sync collection?

Yup it’s safe to remove that collection once you’ve completed the backfill
