Synchronization Information Dialog

Used to resolve conflicts when two users make changes to the same work package, User Defined group, bookmark, boundary.

Opens when you click the View Conflicts tool on the Synchronization toolbox (opens from the Tasks dialog) or select ConstructSim > Synchronization > View conflicts.

If you synchronize your local model with the server model and there is a conflict, a message box opens alerting you to the conflict(s) and instructing you to review the conflicts, choose the resolution and re-synchronize.

Note: The data is not uploaded to the server until the conflicts are resolved.

Some conflicts are automatically resolved; for example, if a user moves a file to a directory that is already removed.
