  • Overwriting the existing container will remove all your existing tags, triggers, and variables, and will replace them with those in the imported container. A new container version will be created before the import.
    
  • Merging containers will let you keep your existing tags, triggers, and variables, and just add in the new ones. If you choose to Merge the new container with your existing container, you’ll have to then decide whether you want to overwrite conflicting tags or rename conflicting tags.

• Overwrite – If a variable, tag, or trigger in the new container has the same name but the contents are different, overwrite the old one with the new one.

  Rename – If a variable, tag, or trigger in the new container has the same name but the contents are different, keep the old one and rename the new one.

• Click Continue. You’ll see a preview of changes, showing how many tags, triggers, and variables will be added, modified, or deleted. You can also click the link to View Detailed Changes to see which tags, triggers, and variables are being added, modified, or deleted.
