Default De-Duplication Settings for Tables Explained

What's the default de duping settings on a table? When I go to table settings I see that I can disable de duping, or add it in, but what's it set to if I don't touch that?

    Hey Alexander! Thanks for reaching out. Great questionโœจ. The default dedupe setting in a table depends on the table type. For example, auto-dedupe is automatically turned on in find companies/people/job source tables, but is not for custom tables. If dedupe is disabled in a table, it means that any duplicate record imported into the table will not be auto-deleted. It's turned on by default in the examples shared above, but is not automatically turned on in custom tables. Let me know if this helps.
