+# Fast Setup (Simple Fetch)
+
+Fast Setup is a streamlined, user-friendly data retrieval and initialisation flow designed to simplify setting up secondary devices or recovering databases. 
+
+Instead of guiding the user through the detailed multi-step setup wizard dialogues, Fast Setup prompts the user with high-level sync decisions and automates database download and local storage scanning in one continuous process.
+
+---
+
+## How It Works
+
+When you import a **Setup URI** on a secondary device, or when a **Fetch All** operation is triggered (such as by placing a `redflag3.md` / `flag_fetch.md` flag file at the root of the vault), the plug-in schedules remote data retrieval.
+
+On the next startup, the plug-in boots in scheduled fetch mode and opens a simplified dialogue: **"Data retrieval scheduled"**.
+
+---
+
+## Technical Characteristics
+
+Fast Setup leverages several backend optimisations to make the retrieval fast, safe, and clean:
+
+1. **Stream-based Replication for Speed**
+   - It fetches all remote metadata via stream reception, which is significantly faster than traditional chunk-by-chunk retrieval.
+2. **Delayed File Reflection to Prevent Corrupted Warnings**
+   - By suspending file reflection during the download phase, it prevents the plug-in from raising temporary or false "corrupted data synchronisation" or "size mismatch" warnings that can occur during the chunk download process.
+3. **Time-Based Comparison is Generally Sufficient**
+   - Since the vault is entering a fresh synchronisation or recovery state, comparing files based on their modification timestamps (newer-wins) is highly reliable and sufficient to reconcile files without needing complex manual conflict resolution.
+
+---
+
+## Step-by-Step Guide
+
+### Step 1: Choose Data Processing Method
+You will be prompted to choose how the retrieved remote data will interact with your existing local files:
+
+1. **Compare time and take newer (newer-wins)**
+   - Compares the modified time of files and accepts the newer version.
+   - **Recommended if:** You have been using Self-hosted LiveSync and have made changes on multiple devices that you want to merge.
+2. **Overwrite all with remote files (remote-wins)**
+   - Remote data is treated as the source of truth.
+   - **Recommended if:** You are setting up a brand new device with an empty or clean vault.
+   - *Warning: This will overwrite local files with remote files. Please ensure you have a backup of your local vault before proceeding.*
+3. **Use the detailed flow (legacy)**
+   - Switches back to the detailed, traditional setup wizard dialogues.
+   - **Recommended if:** You want full control over the step-by-step database setup options.
+
+### Step 2: Configure Conflict & Deletion Rules
+Depending on your choice in Step 1, you will configure how to handle mismatches:
+
+#### If you chose "Compare time and take newer":
+- **Delete local files if they were deleted on remote**
+  - Keeps your local vault clean by removing files that have already been deleted on other devices.
+- **Recreate remote files even if they were deleted on remote**
+  - Preserves local files and uploads them back to the remote database, even if they were deleted on other devices.
+
+#### If you chose "Overwrite all with remote files":
+- **Delete local files if not on remote**
+  - Removes local-only files so that your local vault matches the remote database exactly.
+- **Keep local files even if not on remote**
+  - Retains all existing local-only files, although this may result in duplicates that you will need to clean up manually after synchronisation.
+
+### Step 3: Automated Synchronisation
+Once you confirm your choices:
+1. The plug-in performs a fast download of the remote database (`fetchLocalDBFast`).
+2. It automatically runs a full scan (`synchroniseAllFilesBetweenDBandStorage`) in the foreground to reflect database changes in your local vault files immediately.
+3. The plug-in finalises the process and resumes normal operational status.
