@@ -73,7 +73,7 @@ Qdrant Cloud offers three strategies for shard rebalancing:
* `by_count`: This strategy will rebalance the shards based on the number of shards only. It will ensure that all nodes have the same number of shards, but shard sizes may not be balanced evenly across nodes.
* `by_size`: This strategy will rebalance the shards based on their size only. It will ensure that shards are evenly distributed across nodes by size, but the number of shards may not be even across all nodes.
If you manually move a shard (see [Moving Shards](/documentation/scaling/distributed_deployment/#moving-shards)) while automatic rebalancing is active, and that move leaves a node's shard count or size outside the target, automatic rebalancing can move a shard back to correct it. To manually control shard distribution across nodes, deactivate automatic shard rebalancing by not selecting a value for the **Shard Rebalance Strategy** option.
