 #### Synchronization source change
 
-When devices are configured to use external synchronization they MUST publish the synchronization source id currently being used in the `synchronizationSourceId` property and update the `externalSynchronizationStatus` property whenever it changes, using `null` if a synchronization source cannot be discovered. Devices which are not using external synchronization MUST populate this property with `internal` or their own id if they themselves are the synchronization source (e.g. the device is a grandmaster).

 When devices suffer a synchronization source change the `externalSynchronizationStatus` property MUST temporarily transition to a `PartiallyUnhealthy` state. It can then return to a different state if the operating conditions match it more closely (returning to a healthier state MUST respect the requirements in the [status reporting delay section](#receiver-status-reporting-delay)).
