www.example.com
) - Under the API section enter your account, project, and token details. These can all be found from the Quant Dashboard

Preparing the initial seedSeeding or Hydrating is the act of initial population of Quant. This will take all content, media assets, redirects, etc and push into Quant as a one-time action.
Once the initial seed is completed all further content change will be tracked and pushed to Quant automatically.
- Visit the "Batches" section of the admin area
- Here you will find all detected content that needs to be pushed
- Click each batch, followed by "Start". The content will begin pushing to Quant, you should it appear immediately in your Quant dashboard
#
Setting up CronQuant also supports pushing content when cron is triggered. This allows for a flexible model where certain aspects of the site are pushed when a cron run occurs (e.g once per hour/day).
This is useful for content such as feeds, or dynamic pages that may change relatively frequently but are not automatically pushed with the Quant plugin.

When would I need to trigger a re-seed?If you have made sweeping, site-wide change then a re-seed may be required. This could be in the following situations:
- Global look and feel changes (e.g Theme)
- Global IA change (e.g links in navigation)
