Defines how we propagate a file when it has changed on both sides and the latest edition cannot be automatically determined. By default the selection for this setting is "Conflict Copy" however there are 4 additional settings beyond this which have been gone into greater detail below. Your selection will depend on what best fits your business needs.
Conflict Copy (Default Selection):
When a conflict is detected for a file on both the Source and the Destination, Conflict Copy will identify the versions for the file and append a time-stamp to preserve the integrity of each. We will make a copy of the earliest version then override the content with the latest.
