Importing sam templates

I would like to import SAM template (apm.template file extension), but when I look at the element inside the template I can see some values that should be unique.

For example the ID of component or template (see image below)

So what happenes if a template imported with a component ID which alredy exist in my component?

I'm afraid of some collisions. . .

Thanks

From my experience, it will be fine.

Thanks, but I would like to be sure - is it going to generate a new ID if ID is already exists in the system?

If you import a SAM template with a component ID that already exists, it could result in a conflict. The system may either overwrite the existing component with the imported one, cause an error and prevent the import, or auto-generate a new ID to avoid the collision. To prevent this, it's important to ensure that the component IDs are unique before importing. For example, when looking for services like Building inspections Perth, you should make sure that any IDs in the imported templates do not conflict with existing ones. Testing the import in a non-production environment can help you avoid unwanted changes or conflicts.
