More importantly, `watch` allows for greater granularity than is practical with a bind mount. Watch rules let you ignore specific files or entire directories within the watched tree.

For example, in a JavaScript project, ignoring the `node_modules/` directory has two benefits:
* Performance. File trees with many small files can cause high I/O load in some configurations
* Multi-platform. Compiled artifacts cannot be shared if the host OS or architecture is different to the container

If `action` is set to `sync+restart`, Compose synchronizes your changes with the service containers and restarts them.

`sync+restart` is ideal when the config file changes, and you don't need to rebuild the image but just restart the main process of the service containers.
It will work well when you update a database configuration or your `nginx.conf` file, for example.
