Duplicates are identified by First Name, Last Name and Email Address (ā€œMainā€ email address for Windows users, or the First Email for Mac users). If a duplicate is found, it will be listed on the CSV but no data will be updated within PCR.

Note: If you run the Importer multiple times in the same day, the file will be updated. If the file is open while running the Importer it will not be updated.
