Exclusive financial advisor vs financial advisor in M&A?

Was looking at PWP’s deals and I see this terminology used often, but mostly just financial advisor. What does this mean exactly? Are there multiple financial advisors for a M&A transaction? How much does the work change between being exclusive and not exclusive? Sorry for the dumb question but genuinely curious the details in this.
