> Updates canvases for batching only when rendering is required.

### Remarks

Use this default option to update canvas batching only when Unity performs rendering. For example, when you use [OnDemandRendering](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/rendering/ondemandrendering.md), batching updates run only on rendered frames, which can improve performance. This applies only at runtime in Player builds and has no effect in the Editor.
