A Platform Administrator at Ursa Major Solar imported records into an object by mistake. Which two tools should the administrator use to undo this import?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B, D

To 'undo' a mistaken import, the administrator must delete the incorrectly created records. Two standard tools facilitate this:

Mass Delete Records (Option D): This is a browser-based tool in Setup that allows administrators to delete up to 250 records at a time (standard) or use criteria to identify and remove larger sets of records. It is the quickest way for smaller mistakes.

Data Loader (Option B): For large-scale errors, the administrator can use the Success file generated during the original import (which contains the new record IDs) and perform a 'Delete' operation.

The Data Import Wizard (Option C) is for adding or updating data, but it does not have a 'Delete' function. Weekly Data Export (Option A) is a backup tool and cannot be used to remove existing data from the system.

I agree, but I feel like C could also be useful for small imports.

I think B and D are the best options. Data Loader can help delete records easily.

Wait, can you really undo imports like that? Sounds risky.

I feel like Weekly Data Export is not relevant here, but I definitely agree with using Data Loader for undoing imports.

I’m a bit confused; I thought the Data Import Wizard was only for importing, not undoing.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think Mass Delete Records could be a good choice to remove the imported records.

I think the Data Loader might be one of the tools to use, but I'm not entirely sure about the second option.
