When output files exist options

Provides options for when a file of the specified name and type already exists in the export location. Select one of the following options:

  • Overwrite file: Overwrites the data of the existing output file with the data in the current export file.

  • Add data to file: Adds the export file data to the end of the specified file.

  • Skip file: Used for Monarch Classic project exports, this allows you to create a project export which will skip the export operation if a file of the same name already exists. This is useful for automated operations, where you may not want to overwrite a file that already exists.
