The “Source” column in your employee list identifies how the employee's entry was created. This is particularly important to understand which data can be updated or deleted during further uploads.

Important notes on deleting employees
It is important to understand that deleting employees during an upload only applies to employees who were created via the same source as the upload. This ensures that employee data entered via other sources is not inadvertently removed.
The only exception is ‘manual deletion/removal’. This is always possible, regardless of the source of the employee data.
