# Enable Changes Detection Capture (CDC) for Custom Entities

To synchronize your data efficiently, Stacksync must detect incremental changes, that is new, updated and deleted records, without repeatedly scanning entire tables. Stacksync’s change data capture (CDC) relies on the `Change Tracking` feature in Dynamics 365, which **you must enable for Custom entities** you plan to sync. The following section explains how to turn on change tracking so Stacksync can reliably capture those incremental updates.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Standard entities** have change tracking **enabled by default,** no action required. This guide is only for **custom entities**.
{% endhint %}

1. Sign in to [Power Apps](https://make.powerapps.com/).
2. Expand **Dataverse**, and then select **Tables.**
3. Select a table, and then in **Table properties** select **Properties**.
4. In the Edit table page, expand **Advanced options.**
5. In the **For this table** section, enable the **Track Changes** checkbox.<br>

6. Select **Save.**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.stacksync.com/connectors/dynamics-365-crm/enable-changes-detection-capture-cdc.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
