What optional platform features can be utilized to prevent data sources from overwriting attributes?

Reconciliation and Data Source Precedence are the correct features to prevent data sources from overwriting attributes in ServiceNow. Reconciliation allows different data sources to be compared, ensuring that the most accurate, reliable, or preferred source of data is used to populate fields in the system. By establishing precedence among data sources, administrators can dictate which source's information takes priority, safeguarding important attributes from being inadvertently altered by less authoritative sources.

Having this approach ensures that the integrity of critical data is maintained, as it helps in managing conflicting information from multiple data sources effectively. Consequently, when using reconciliation and establishing a clear precedence for data sources, organizations can avoid unintended data overwrites that could lead to inaccuracies in their records.
