I have a system that is in used on laptops (when travelling) and in the main office.
My question is : How do i prevent Replication or Save conflicts? - Can I just delete them>
I currently have 129 documents and dont know what to do with them!?! I have enabled the option ‘Merge Conflicts’ and it doesnt work!
Any Suggestions please.

Subject: Replication Or Save Conflict
Conflicts can only be merged when different fields are updated. If the same field is updated by an office user and the remote user, you’ll get a rep conflict. So, no, there is no absolute way to prevent them. They will happen when you have users updating the same doc in two disconnected places.
The best way to deal with them is to compare the two docs and then decide which one should take precedence. Sometimes, the conflict doc should be deleted - and sometimes not. Sometimes, fields need to be merged manually to get a good uptodate doc.
I’m pretty sure there’s some doc compare code in the Sandbox.
