 #### Bugs Fixed
 * Fixed all saveAll/insertAll bulk functionality to populated audit data - See [PR 39620](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-java/pull/39620).
+* Fixed `existsById` API in `ReactiveCosmosTemplate` to return `Mono<Boolean>` containing `False` in case the item does not exist - See [PR 40022](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-java/pull/40022)
