# SynchronizationComponent

A component that synchronizes an entity between processes and networked
applications.

```
struct SynchronizationComponent
```

## Overview

An entity acquires a [`SynchronizationComponent`](/documentation/RealityKit/SynchronizationComponent) instance by adopting the
[`HasSynchronization`](/documentation/RealityKit/HasSynchronization) protocol. All entities have this component because
the [`Entity`](/documentation/RealityKit/Entity) base class adopts the protocol.

## Topics

### Creating a synchronization component

[`init()`](/documentation/RealityKit/SynchronizationComponent/init())

### Identifying a synchronization component

[`identifier`](/documentation/RealityKit/SynchronizationComponent/identifier)

### Managing ownership

[`isOwner`](/documentation/RealityKit/SynchronizationComponent/isOwner)
