After reviewing duplicates, inspect the surviving record using Read golden records through the API. Use the record identifier from your own exercise rather than assuming a candidate identifier is a record identifier. API quickstart provides the connection setup.

Compare the result with the decision made in Review duplicates. When you have finished, restore the sample using the reset procedure below.

Reinstall or remove the sample

Reinstall and Remove are available in Settings. Both delete the installed sample and any changes made to its data or configuration.

ActionWhat Golden warns
Reinstall“The current sample copy is removed completely before this version is installed, including its data and any changes made to it.”
Remove“The entity, table, resources and files installed by this project are removed. Any changes made to them cannot be recovered.”

Use a disposable learning environment and review the installed sample objects before either action. Prefix checks are safeguards, not permission to reuse sample identifiers for real data. Reinstallation destroys changes to the sample; it is not an undo mechanism for unrelated data or downstream deliveries.

After the installation run reaches SUCCEEDED, verify 378 customer records, 245 duplicate groups, and the initial Ana email group (CRM-0001 and CRM-DUP-0001, score 84). If a count differs, check the run and configuration before continuing with exercises that assume the initial state.
