What happens to existing Opportunities when a new allocation of a Campaign is modified?

1. Only new Opportunities are affected

2. Existing Opportunities are unaffected

3. Both new and existing Opportunities are affected

4. Modifications are only temporary

The correct answer is: Both new and existing Opportunities are affected

When a new allocation of a Campaign is modified, all Opportunities associated with that Campaign are impacted. This means that existing Opportunities will be updated according to the changes made to the Campaign allocation. This is an essential aspect of how Salesforce manages data relationships and ensures that all relevant records reflect the most recent and accurate information. In the context of Campaigns in Salesforce, Opportunities can be linked to Campaigns to track the effectiveness of marketing efforts. When you make changes to the Campaign allocation—such as adjusting budget levels, changing the expected response rate, or shifting targeted demographics—those changes ripple out to all associated Opportunities. This allows organizations to have a unified view of all their marketing efforts and revenue projections, ensuring consistency across their data. As for the other options, they either imply that existing Opportunities would remain completely isolated from the changes, which does not align with the integrated nature of Salesforce data, or suggest that modifications would be temporary or impact only new entries, neither of which accurately represents how the system is designed to function in relation to Campaigns and Opportunities.
