 - **Shards:** Control how the index is split across nodes. More shards can improve parallelism but may increase overhead.
 - **Replicas:** Define how many copies of the data exist. More replicas improve resilience and read performance but increase storage usage.
-- **Refresh interval:** Control how frequently new data becomes visible for search. A longer interval reduces resource usage; a short one makes data searchable sooner.

+## Managed components
+When you configure classic or wired streams through the Streams UI or [Streams API](#streams-api), {{es}}-level components like templates and pipelines are created for the stream. These components are considered *managed* and shouldn't be modified using {{es}} APIs. When managing a stream through the Streams UI or API, continue doing so whenever possible.
+
+You can still edit non-managed ingest pipelines, templates, and other components, but avoid those marked as managed or any per-data-stream mappings and settings. This behavior is similar to how Elasticsearch handles components managed by integrations. Refer to the [**Advanced** tab](./management/advanced.md) to review managed components.
