 		Visibility can be handled directly with [method set_visibility_for] or as-needed with [method add_visibility_filter] and [method update_visibility].
 		[MultiplayerSpawner]s will handle nodes according to visibility of synchronizers as long as the node at [member root_path] was spawned by one.
 		Internally, [MultiplayerSynchronizer] uses [method MultiplayerAPI.object_configuration_add] to notify synchronization start passing the [Node] at [member root_path] as the [code]object[/code] and itself as the [code]configuration[/code], and uses [method MultiplayerAPI.object_configuration_remove] to notify synchronization end in a similar way.
+		[b]Note:[/b] Synchronization is not supported for [Object] type properties, like [Resource]. Properties that are unique to each peer, like the instance IDs of [Object]s (see [method Object.get_instance_id]) or [RID]s, will also not work in synchronization.
