Differences between Collect and Patch Default

[Marcelo_br]

Hello Everyone,

Is there any difference between using Collect to create a record in a sharepoint and using Patch(Default) to create the same record?

I've read somewhere that Patch wouldn't affect the ID for the records, but just tested it and I couldn't see any difference between the two commands.

Hi @Marcelo_br ,

The Collect function and Patch functon both could save a new record into a data source. But Collect function could not be used to modify an existing record within your data source, the Patch function could achieve this.

In addition, Collect function and Patch function have some difference between execution speed. The execution speed of Collect function is faster than Patch function:

On your side, you could quickly measure your the two function's execution performance by turning on Developer Tools in your Edge or Chrome.

That was the information I was after. Thank you very much.

Thanks also for the tip on Developer Tools.
