# PreserveOnInitial

Set `PreserveOnInitial` to `True` to preserve the existing index queue after you initialize your index by using the DREINITIAL index action. By default, the Content component clears the queue when it initializes the index.

`PreserveOnInitial` has an effect only if you are initializing the index. If you use DREINITIAL to restore from a backup, the Content component always restores the index queue from the backup.

You can override `PreserveOnInitial` for an individual DREINITIAL index action by setting the PreserveQueue parameter.
