It will push the config, you are seeing in Central, to the new joined XG.

I've create a gruop with Defaul Configuration and I've join a XG that was previsly configured. Now my firewall has the previus configuration and I can push new configarion from Central.

What about if now I join on the same group another XG with his hown configuration previusly done?

It will take his old configrations as is and then receive the new done on the central?

Thank you

CM is a Unicast push. Only Central to XG. There is no back sync of local changes.

There will be a Item locking in the future, to lock Items pushed by CM. So you cannot change them on the local webadmin. But a backsync is not planned.

And what about the local changes?

When you do a local change on a joined group firewall what appen on the other joined firewall?

Central will push objects, which uses the same name. For example you have a Firewall Rule configured called "LAN to WAN" in Central. This will be pushed to the XG. If XG already has a Rule with this specific name, it will be overwritten.

You can create a new Group (template) and import the existing configuration of one of your Firewalls. Then push this Configuration to another firewall, by adding this firewall to this group.

Settings, which are "switches" like "ATP ON / OFF", will be overwritten. Exceptions will be added.
