When an instance receives a new WAR file, it starts to upgrade. It looks in each XML file to find what record it represents and checks it against the Customer Updates [sys_update_xml] table.
If there is no entry in the Customer Updates table, then the action in the upgrade is applied. This could be insert, update, or delete. No entry means ServiceNow owns the record, and it will be kept "out of the box" even if the upgrade means "out of the box" is changing.
If an entry does exist, the upgrade process will do a little more work. First, it looks to see whether the Replace on upgrade field in the Customer Updates record is ticked. If it is ticked, then the action will be applied, as before.
