  4. In the XML Map Properties dialog box, click one of the following options:

    1. Overwrite existing data with new data     When XML data is refreshed or reimported into a map, existing data in the mapped cells, whether a single-mapped cell or an XML table, is overwritten by the new data.

    2. Append new data to existing XML tables     When XML data is refreshed or reimported into a map:

      • For an XML table, the new data is appended to the end of an XML table.

      • For a single mapped cell, the current data is not overwritten (and no data is appended).
