Digital Import Profile - it does not manage the existing digital representation
We use the digital import profile to update our digital collections. Currently, the system does not allow us to update the digital representation linked to the title; it only adds the new one, regardless of whether it is identical to the existing one or not. It would be desirable for the Merge and Overlay parameters to apply to digital files as well, not just to the MARC fields of the record.

Hy Guys,
That’s a solid point Digital Import Profiles often miss the mark when it comes to updating or managing an existing digital presence. In many cases, they create a snapshot rather than actually improving what’s already live, which can lead to inconsistencies across platforms.
A better approach is to treat your digital presence as something ongoing regular audits, updates, and optimisation really make the difference. I came across a breakdown on this here: https://camziotech.com that explains how aligning SEO, website updates, and overall visibility helps keep everything consistent and effective over time.
