# Retrieve auto-follow patterns
To view existing auto-follow patterns and edit their settings, [access Kibana](/elastic/docs-builder/docs/4152/deploy-manage/tools/cross-cluster-replication/manage-auto-follow-patterns#ccr-access-ccr-auto-follow) on your local cluster.
Select the auto-follow pattern that you want to view or edit. You can also view the follower indices created by the pattern.
Use the [get auto-follow pattern API](https://www.elastic.co/docs/api/doc/elasticsearch/operation/operation-ccr-get-auto-follow-pattern-1) to inspect all configured auto-follow pattern collections.
