By default, `replication_factor` is set to "1", meaning no additional copy is maintained automatically. If you configured a default replication factor in the [Qdrant configuration](/documentation/guides/configuration/#configuration-options), this value will be the default for new collections instead.

By default, `replication_factor` is set to "1", meaning no additional copy is maintained automatically. The default can be changed in the [Qdrant configuration](/documentation/guides/configuration/#configuration-options). You can change that by setting the `replication_factor` when you create a collection. The `replication_factor` can also be updated for existing collections. In Qdrant open-source, this will not automatically create new replicas. See [Creating new Shard Replicas](#creating-new-shard-replicas) for a description on how to create them manually. But in Qdrant Cloud, including Hybrid Cloud and Private Cloud, the shards will be automatically replicated or removed if you change the `replication_factor`.
