Unable to See Resync/Add/Remove Node Options in MongoDB Atlas (M50 Cluster)

I am using an M50 cluster with one primary and two secondary nodes. I am looking for ways to resync a node or manually add/remove nodes for an initial sync.

The MongoDB documentation mentions that these options exist, but I cannot find them in the Atlas UI. I have both Organizational Member and Project Owner roles.

Could this be an access issue, or does MongoDB Atlas not allow manual node addition/removal?

Hi @Rexcily_Rijo_R

If you want to resync a node open a support ticket with MongoDB Atlas Support. This is not available to MongoDB Atlas users.

Additional members can be added and a cluster can be reduced back down to 3 members using the options in Multi-Cloud, Multi-Region & Workload Isolation
