Unclear options for restore on App Service.

[kogepanh]

Currently there is an option "Ignore conflicting domain names" when restore from a custom backup of the App Service. But it is unclear how this option will work.

This option is not mentioned in the Docs.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/manage-backup?tabs=portal#restore-a-backup

It seems that this option works as mentioned in the following page, but this should be included in Docs as well, so please let us discuss it.

The option Ignore Conflicting Host Names on Restore is to set a logic when restoring an app with custom domains. Custom domains are added to the app when it is being restored. If you set it to No, it might fail due to conflicts during the operation. If you set it to Yes, it will remove custom domains automatically when restoring the app successfully.
