 Shard recovery is the process of starting a shard copy for restoring a primary shard from a snapshot or syncing a replica shard. Once a shard recovery is complete, the recovered shard becomes available for searching and indexing operations.
 
@@ -24,7 +24,7 @@ Shard recovery occurs automatically in the following scenarios:
 The Recover Index API provides information only about completed recoveries for shard copies that currently exist in the cluster. It reports only the most recent recovery for each shard copy and does not include historical information about previous recoveries or information about recoveries of shard copies that no longer exist. Consequently, if a shard copy completes a recovery and is subsequently relocated to a different node, the information about the original recovery will not be displayed in the Recover Index API.
