# Scheduling Periodic and Incremental Scans
Periodic scans are useful for maintaining an up-to-date view of vulnerabilities, especially as both the **codebase** and **scanner rules** evolve over time.
> 🔄 Scheduled and incremental scans are **only available for Git repositories**. This feature is **not supported** when using ZIP file uploads.
***
#### Setting Up a Scheduled Scan
1. Navigate to the **Static Analysis** tab.
2. Choose the desired **scan frequency** (e.g., daily, weekly).
3. The **first scan** will run immediately upon setup.
4. All **subsequent scans** will execute at the same time interval, based on the initial run time.
#### Enabling Repository Monitoring
The **Monitor** feature performs:
* An **initial full scan** of the target repository branch.
* Then, **hourly checks** for new commits.
If changes are detected in the specified branch:
* Only the **modified files** will be downloaded.
* An **incremental scan** will be performed, improving efficiency.
#### Managing Scheduled Scans
To **view or edit** existing scheduled scans:
* Use the **top drop-down list** available in the **Static Analysis** section.
* Select the relevant scan configuration to review or adjust its schedule.
