 The _XDCR Compression Type_ setting can be either `Auto` or `None`:
 
-* If `Auto` is specified, data compression _is_ provided during replication, provided that the target cluster is running Couchbase Server 5.5 or later.
-If the target cluster is _not_ running Couchbase Server 5.5 or later, data compression is _not_ provided during replication.
+* If `Auto` is specified, data compression _is_ attempted during replication, given that the target cluster is running Couchbase Server 5.5 or later.
+If the target cluster is _not_ running Couchbase Server 5.5 or later, data compression is _not_ attempted during replication.
 (Note that the consequences of specifying `Auto` as the value of `compressionType` are thereby determined irrespective of whether the data resides in the source bucket in compressed or uncompressed form.)
 
-* If `None` is specified, data compression is not provided during replication if the target cluster is not running Couchbase Server 5.5 or later.
+* If `None` is specified, data compression is not attempted during replication if the target cluster is not running Couchbase Server 5.5 or later.
 If the target cluster _is_ running Couchbase Server 5.5 or later:
 
-** If the data resides in the source bucket in uncompressed form, data compression is _not_ provided.
+** If the data resides in the source bucket in uncompressed form, data compression is _not_ attempted.
 
-** If the data resides in the source bucket in _compressed_ form, data compression _is_ provided.
+** If the data resides in the source bucket in _compressed_ form, data compression _is_ attempted.
