If the checkbox is not checked, the data in the base directory will be appended with the data from the uploaded YML file.

Attention!!! We strongly do not recommend using this type of data download from an online store, CMS (website engine) that support downloading through the Elbuz Tunnel integration module. Due to the fact that YML does not contain all the data about the product catalog, for example, links to product categories (if 1 product is in different categories) and other points, as a result, if you create a catalog in this way and update the site through the tunnel, then the data on the site may not synchronize with those in the Elbuz, thereby removing links to categories and other data.
Along with this, YML often uses numeric ID codes for synchronization, Elbuz Tunnel uses symbolic UUID codes for integration, which provides more opportunities for two-way data exchange.
