When do we need overwrite in F5 while we want to Sync

When we want to Sync, we have option, which is "Overwrite". Any expert can tell when do we need overwrite in F5 while we want to Sync? Thank you

Overwrite is rip-and-replace. Config from device-B is replaced with config from device-A when you are overwriting from A to B. As for the why, it depends on your needs.
