What is the effect of enabling the "Overwrite Custom Settings for all subordinate organizational units" feature?

Enabling the "Overwrite Custom Settings for all subordinate organizational units" feature applies new settings and replaces any existing custom configurations across all subordinate divisions. This means that regardless of the previous settings in those subordinate areas, they will receive the latest defined settings uniformly. This feature is particularly useful for organizations seeking consistency and uniformity in settings across different divisions, allowing for streamlined management and ensuring that all employees follow the same guidelines or parameters set by the organization.

In contrast, the other choices imply a different level of specificity or retention of previous settings that would not occur with this feature. The intent behind this feature is to provide a comprehensive update to all subordinate units, thereby negating the possibility of retaining any prior configurations.
