If a match is found during import, the existing record is updated with the new information.
Coalesce allows existing records to be updated instead of creating duplicates.

Flow Designer Benefits

Reduces technical debt by simplifying processes.
Minimizes manual scripting, enhancing efficiency.
Supports seamless integration with third-party systems.

Update Sets Recommendations

Avoid using the Default Update Set for moving customizations between instances.
Ensure instances are on different versions before moving customizations with Update Sets.

Common Services Data Model (CSDM)

Provides a standard set of service-related definitions across ServiceNow products.
Supports service level reporting and multiple configuration strategies through a CMDB framework.

UI Actions

Buttons, form links, and context menu items are categorized as UI Actions.
