[Koha] Importing records into Koha 3.14

[Layale Bassil]

Thank you so much Indranil.

However, I would like to know how can I update already existing items by doing a new import?

Do I select "Replace items if matching bib was found" and I make sure that the barcode (952 $p) field is the same? Will this work?

Thanks!
