 If a shard copy is unassigned, it means that the shard copy is not allocated to any node in the cluster. This can happen if there are not enough nodes in the cluster to allocate the shard copy, or if the shard copy can't be allocated to any node that satisfies the shard allocation filtering rules. When a shard copy is unassigned, your cluster is considered unhealthy and returns a yellow or red cluster health status.

 [[shard-relocation]]
-==== Shard relocation
+=== Shard relocation
 
 Shard relocation is the process of moving shard copies from one node to another. This can happen when a node joins or leaves the cluster, or when the cluster is rebalancing.
 
 When a shard copy is relocated, it is created as a new shard copy on the target node. When the shard copy is fully allocated and recovered, the old shard copy is deleted. If the shard copy being relocated is a primary, then the new shard copy is marked as primary before the old shard copy is deleted.

+==== Adjust shard relocation settings
 
 You can control how and when shard copies are relocated. For example, you can adjust the rebalancing settings that control when shard copies are relocated to balance the cluster, or the high watermark for disk-based shard allocation that can trigger relocation. These settings are part of the <<modules-cluster,cluster-level shard allocation settings>>.
