I could not locate contact info in field management, any ideas?  I want to prevent Marketo from overriding information on the contact level in SF.

Hey Danielle,

This type of blocking is best done on the SFDC, by setting fields to read-only with field-level security.  You can choose to disallow updates to fields in Marketo with the Field Actions>Block Field from updates action, however.

Keep in mind you can go to Admin > Field Management and assign Field Blocking to certain fields. I do this for key contact fields that Sales would not want overridden. The nice thing is it still lets you update empty fields.
