Will importing product library overwrite existing line item

[JLow16]

I have deals with line items in existing product library. If I do an import to update the existing product library, will it impact the existing line items?

Hi @JLow16,

You can change the product library without impacting line items on deals/quotes. See this note from the products knowledge base article:

Line items: when you associate a product with a deal record, quote, invoice, or payment link, you are associating one instance of that product as a unique line item. The line item is no longer connected to the product, and any updates to the original product's information in the product library will not apply to the line items that are already associated with your records.
