Write Mode

The "Write Mode" field determines system behavior when a CSV file with the same name already exists in the destination folder. The system offers two distinct approaches:

Overwrite: represents the complete replacement approach.

Advantages:

Always ensures updated and consistent data

Prevents accumulation of duplicate files

Maintains clean folder organization

Disadvantages:

Permanent loss of the previous version

Inability to recover historical data

Ideal usage: Recurring exports where only the most recent version is needed

Append: adds new data to the existing file, with new records queued at the end of the existing file.

Advantages:

Preserves all historical data

Creates a cumulative archive over time

Allows trend analysis and temporal comparisons

Disadvantages:

Possible data duplication

Files growing in size over time

Need to manage multiple headers

Ideal usage: Activity logs, historical archives, incremental data collection
