+The default maximum polling interval is 3 minutes (120 seconds + 60 seconds jitter).
 You can change the setting by updating the `timeout.reconciliation` value and the `timeout.reconciliation.jitter` in the [argocd-cm](https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/blob/2d6ce088acd4fb29271ffb6f6023dbb27594d59b/docs/operator-manual/argocd-cm.yaml#L279-L282) config map. If there are any Git changes, Argo CD will only update applications with the [auto-sync setting](user-guide/auto_sync.md) enabled. If you set it to `0` then Argo CD will stop polling Git repositories automatically and you can only use alternative methods such as [webhooks](operator-manual/webhook.md) and/or manual syncs for deploying applications.

 Explanation:
+
 - Prior to Helm 3.17.1, `null` object in `values.yaml` resulted in a warning: `cannot overwrite table with non table` upon performing `helm template`, and the resulting K8s object was not overridden with the invalid `null` value.
 - In Helm 3.17.1, this behavior changed and `null` object in `values.yaml` still results in this warning upon performing `helm template`, but the resulting K8s object will be overridden with the invalid `null` value.
-- To resolve the issue, identify `values.yaml` with `null` object values, and remove those `null` values.   
+- To resolve the issue, identify `values.yaml` with `null` object values, and remove those `null` values.
+
+### Use Annotation-Based Tracking by Default
+
+The default behavior for [tracking resources](../../user-guide/resource_tracking.md) has changed to use annotation-based
+tracking instead of label-based tracking. Annotation-based tracking is more reliable and less prone to errors caused by
+external code copying tracking labels from one resource to another.
+
+#### Detection
+
+To detect if you are impacted, check the `argocd-cm` ConfigMap for the `application.resourceTrackingMethod` field. If it
+unset or is set to `label`, you are using label-based tracking. If it is set to `annotation`, you are already using
+annotation-based tracking and are not impacted by this change.
+
+```sh
+kubectl get cm argocd-cm -n argocd -o jsonpath='{.data.application\.resourceTrackingMethod}'
+```
+
+#### Remediation
+
+For most users, it is safe to upgrade to Argo CD 3.0 and use annotation-based tracking. Labels will be replaced with
+annotations on the next sync. Applications will not be marked as out-of-sync if labels are not present on the
+resources.
+
+!!! warning "Potential for orphaned resources"
+
+    There is a known edge case when switching from label-based tracking to annotation-based tracking that may cause
+    resources to be orphaned. If the first sync operation after switching to annotation-based tracking includes a
+    resource being deleted, Argo CD will fail to recognize that the resource is managed by the Application and will not
+    delete it. To avoid this edge case, it is recommended to perform a sync operation on your Applications, even if
+    they are not out of sync, so that orphan resource detection will work as expected on the next sync.
+
+Some users rely on label-based tracking to track resources that are not managed by Argo CD. They may set annotations
+to have Argo CD ignore the resource as extraneous or to disable pruning. If you are using label-based tracking to track
+resources that are not managed by Argo CD, you will need to construct tracking annotations instead of tracking labels
+and apply them to the relevant resources. The format of the tracking annotation is:
+
+```yaml
+argocd.argoproj.io/tracking-id: <app name>:<resource group>/<resource kind>:<resource namespace>/<resource name>
+```
+
+For cluster-scoped resources, the namespace is set to the value in the Application's `spec.destination.namespace` field.
+
+!!! warning
+
+    Manually constructing and applying tracking labels and annotations is not an officially supported feature, and Argo
+    CD's behavior may change in the future. It is recommended to manage resources with Argo CD via GitOps.
+
+#### Opting Out
+
+If you are not ready to use annotation-based tracking, you can opt out of this change by setting the
+`application.resourceTrackingMethod` field in the `argocd-cm` ConfigMap to `label`. There are no current plans to remove
+label-based tracking.

 # Resource Tracking
 
+## Tracking Kubernetes resources by annotation
+
+Argo CD can be instructed to use the following methods for tracking:
+
+1. `annotation` (default) - Argo CD uses the `argocd.argoproj.io/tracking-id` annotation to track application resources. Use this when you don't need to maintain both the label and the annotation.
+1. `annotation+label` - Argo CD uses the `app.kubernetes.io/instance` label but only for informational purposes. The label is not used for tracking purposes, and the value is still truncated if longer than 63 characters. The annotation `argocd.argoproj.io/tracking-id` is used instead to track application resources. Use this for resources that you manage with Argo CD, but still need compatibility with other tools that require the instance label.
+1. `label` - Argo CD uses the `app.kubernetes.io/instance` label
+
+
+Here is an example of using the annotation method for tracking resources:
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: apps/v1
+kind: Deployment
+metadata:
+  name: my-deployment
+  namespace: default
+  annotations:
+    argocd.argoproj.io/tracking-id: my-app:apps/Deployment:default/my-deployment
+```
+
+The advantages of using the tracking id annotation is that there are no clashes any
+more with other Kubernetes tools and Argo CD is never confused about the owner of a resource. The `annotation+label` can also be used if you want other tools to understand resources managed by Argo CD.
+
+### Installation ID
+
+If you are managing one cluster using multiple Argo CD instances, you will need to set `installationID` in the Argo CD ConfigMap. This will prevent conflicts between
+the different Argo CD instances:
+
+* Each managed resource will have the annotation `argocd.argoproj.io/installation-id: <installation-id>`
+* It is possible to have applications with the same name in Argo CD instances without causing conflicts.
+
+### Non self-referencing annotations
+When using the tracking method `annotation` or `annotation+label`, Argo CD will consider the resource properties in the annotation (name, namespace, group and kind) to determine whether the resource should be compared against the desired state. If the tracking annotation does not reference the resource it is applied to, the resource will neither affect the application's sync status nor be marked for pruning.
+
+This allows other kubernetes tools (e.g. [HNC](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/hierarchical-namespaces)) to copy a resource to a different namespace without impacting the Argo CD application's sync status. Copied resources will be visible on the UI at top level. They will have no sync status and won't impact the application's sync status.
