+## Geo Replication
+
+The Azure App Configuration Provider library will automatically discover the provided configuration store's replicas and use the replicas if any issue arises. From more information see [Geo-Replication](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/azure-app-configuration/howto-geo-replication).
+
+Replica discovery is enabled by default. If you want to disable it, you can set `replica_discovery_enabled` to `False`.
+
+```python
+from azure.appconfiguration.provider import load
+from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
+
+config = load(endpoint=endpoint, credential=DefaultAzureCredential(), replica_discovery_enabled=False)
+```
+
 ## Loading Feature Flags
 
 Feature Flags can be loaded from config stores using the provider. Feature flags are loaded as a dictionary of key/value pairs stored in the provider under the `feature_management`, then `feature_flags`.
