Is there a time lag between a successful collaboration (Portal -- ArcGIS Online) and having the data show in ArcGIS Online?

Question

We have a Portal to ArcGIS Online collaboration setup (Send and Receive); however, we've noticed that some items in Portal are not syncing properly to ArcGIS Online. Looking through the log files it seems like these datasets "succeed" in their sync process; however the # of features between the Portal Item and the AGOL Item are different.

Does AGOL need a few hours or days to reindex itself to find these new features? If so, how long before they should show up?

Hi Brian, just saw this post. It depends on how your collaboration is set up - if ArcGIS Enterprise is set up to send items immediately or on a schedule. This is configurable when you edit the workspace as an ArcGIS Enterprise admin:

In terms of the mismatch between number of features - potentially the Enterprise item has been edited/features added but not synced with Online yet? If you see a discrepancy after a sync has happened, we'd want to look into that further.
