The document outlines a lab session on replication conducted by Bradley Holt during CouchDB Developer Day. It includes instructions for using the http-console to connect to CouchDB and perform replication tasks, such as creating databases and ensuring continuous replication. The session illustrates practical hands-on exercises to replicate data between two databases.

16. Try It On Your Own
1. Create database test_1
2. Create database test_2
3. Set up continuous replication from the test_1 database to the test_2 database
4. Create a document in the test_1 database
5. Confirm that the document has been replicated to the test_2 database
6. Delete the test_1 and the test_2 databases
