+#### Upsert vs insert
+
+- **Upsert** follows the platform’s usual behaviour: update when a primary key matches, otherwise insert. For Data Extensions **without** a primary key, upsert may not behave as expected; prefer **`--mode insert`** for those.
+- **Insert** always adds new rows. Running import twice with insert can create **duplicate** rows if the same file is applied again—use upsert when keys are defined and you need idempotent runs.
