Explanation
The coalesce option on a field map allows you to specify if the selected Target field should be used to coalesce on when import set records are transformed. If the field map Coalesce checkbox is selected when the import set row is transformed the instance checks for an existing record in the target table that has the same value in the Target field as the import set row Source field.
In the workflow, what is the workflow timeline?
Shows the progress of workflow. it provides a complete time-based display of activities associated with workflow context.
Explanation

An updated set is an XML file that contains:
· A set of record details that uniquely identify the update set.
· A list of configuration changes.
· A state that determines whether another instance can retrieve and apply configuration changes.
Update sets track changes to applications and system platform features. This allows developers to create new functionality on a non-production instance and promote the changes to another instance.
