 +Allow Overlaps controls whether two or more Zones within the same repository may contain overlapping slot ranges.
 +
 +When set to True, TapeTrack permits the same slot numbers to be included in multiple Zones.
 +
 +Example:
 +
 +^Zone ^Slot range^
 +|LTO |1–100|
 +|DAILY |50–75|
 +
 +Slots 50–75 overlap and belong to both Zones. TapeTrack will only allow this configuration when Allow Overlaps is enabled.
 +
 +This can be useful when Zones represent different classifications or logical groupings rather than exclusive physical areas.
 +
 +^Setting ^Result^
 +|False |Zone slot ranges must not overlap|
 +|True |Multiple Zones may include the same slot locations|
 +
 +It does not allow two tapes to occupy the same physical slot. It only allows Zone definitions to cover some of the same slot numbers.
 +
 +Generally, leave it False when Zones represent separate physical rack areas. Enable it only when overlapping logical Zone definitions are intentional
