Export Concepts
Delta Export
An export of only the records that changed since the last export.
A delta export (incremental export) returns only records changed, added, or deleted since a watermark — usually a timestamp. Delta exports are how ongoing syncs stay efficient. They require that the source system expose a reliable "updated" timestamp on every record.
