 [[ccr-auto-follow]]
-=== Automatically following indices
-
-In time series use cases where you want to follow new indices that are
-periodically created (such as daily Beats indices), manually configuring follower
-indices for each new leader index can be an operational burden. The auto-follow
-functionality in {ccr} is aimed at easing this burden. With the auto-follow
-functionality, you can specify that new indices in a remote cluster that have a 
-name that matches a pattern are automatically followed.
-
-==== Managing auto-follow patterns
-
-You can add a new auto-follow pattern configuration with the
-{ref}/ccr-put-auto-follow-pattern.html[create auto-follow pattern API].  When you create
-a new auto-follow pattern configuration, you are configuring a collection of
-patterns against a single remote cluster. Any time a new index with a name that 
-matches one of the patterns in the collection is created in the remote cluster,
-a follower index is configured in the local cluster. The follower index uses the 
-new index as its leader index.
-
-You can inspect all configured auto-follow pattern collections with the
-{ref}/ccr-get-auto-follow-pattern.html[get auto-follow pattern API]. Auto-follow patterns
-can be paused using the {ref}/ccr-pause-auto-follow-pattern.html[pause auto-follow pattern API]
- and can be resumed using the {ref}/ccr-resume-auto-follow-pattern.html[resume auto-follow pattern API].
-  To delete a configured auto-follow pattern collection, use the
-{ref}/ccr-delete-auto-follow-pattern.html[delete auto-follow pattern API].
-
-Since auto-follow functionality is handled automatically in the background on
-your behalf, error reporting is done through logs on the elected master node
-and through the {ref}/ccr-get-stats.html[{ccr} stats API].
+=== Manage auto-follow patterns
+To replicate time series indices, you configure an auto-follow pattern so that
+each new index in the series is replicated automatically. Whenever the name of
+a new index on the remote cluster matches the auto-follow pattern, a
+corresponding follower index is added to the local cluster.
+
+Auto-follow patterns are especially useful with
+<<index-lifecycle-management,{ilm-cap}>>, which might continually create
+new indices on the cluster containing the leader index.
+
+[[ccr-access-ccr-auto-follow]]
+To start using {ccr} auto-follow patterns, access {kib} and go to
+*Management > Stack Management*. In the side navigation, select
+*Cross-Cluster Replication* and choose the *Auto-follow patterns* tab
+
+[[ccr-auto-follow-create]]
+==== Create auto-follow patterns
+When you <<ccr-getting-started-auto-follow,create an auto-follow pattern>>,
+you are configuring a collection of patterns against a single remote cluster.
+When an index is created in the remote cluster with a name that matches one of
+the patterns in the collection, a follower index is configured in the local
+cluster. The follower index uses the new index as its leader index.
