Conflict Resolution Policy

  • Updated

What is the Conflict Resolution policy and how does it work?

The conflict resolution policy is applied when a file on both sides of the sync relationship was updated between syncs. For example, there is an hourly sync. A sync occurred at 10:00 AM and completed shortly thereafter. The file on both sides was updated between the completed 10:00 am sync and the 11:00 am sync.

The conflict resolution policy updates the content on one side, depending on the choices selected.

 If the synchronization direction is Upload

  • and you choose Version on Remote Site Wins, the remote version is retained; nothing is copied
  • and you choose Version on Local Site Wins, the local version overwrites remote version

If the synchronization direction is Download

  • and you choose Version on Remote Site Wins, the remote version overwrites local version
  • and you choose Version on Local Site Wins, local version is retained; nothing is copied
