Hei,

I have a page with existing articles. I now want to import articles from another page. But the existing articles must not be overwritten. Currently, the articles with the same ID are overwritten during import. Even if I set "Keep existing ID" to no in the import. Can I prevent them from being overwritten?

Many regards
Verena

Hello Verena,
Can I prevent them from being overwritten?

If you have article ID in import file articles will be updated even with "Keep existing ID" set to no. If you want to create new articles you need to remove article ID field from import file. But then with no ID, RO CSVI still finds existing articles based on alias and category_path or catid. If these match from import file existing articles will be updated. To create new articles makes sure you have unique alias and category_path or catid.
Kind regards,

Tharuna
