What is the strategy to add attributes to shapefile when the number of records are no

I'm trying to add attributes (in excel format) to an existing shapefile using ArcGIS, but the number of records between the two are not the same; there are some records in one file but not in the other, and vice versa. I'm new to GIS field and not sure what steps to take, but here's what I think will work:

  1. Export attributes from shapefiles to database format, convert it to excel format
  2. Merge shapefile attribute with the other excel attribute to form one file
  3. Retain those from shapefile attribute
  4. Import new data back to the shapefile
Do you think this will work? Especially at step 4, can I import new data (i.e., with updated attributes) in the excel form to the shapefile in some way? Sorry if it's looks too rudimentary/crude a plan, but to my beginner level that makes some sense intuitively.
