When a replication/save conflict is resolved, is there anything that remains in the newly saved conflict to say that it was once a conflict?
We have dupes, which I think are resolved conflicts. There are no $REF or $Conflict fields, but all docs have a $ConflictAction field.

There’s no evidence left, and the $ConflictAction doesn’t mean anything. All you can do is compare the docs to each other and see whether there’s any important difference that needs to be copied over.
In my blog, I posted a tool to resolve replication conflicts. It shouldn’t be too hard to adapt this to operate on two selected documents (but it will require code in the application, rather than just a toolbar button).

That was my thought as well, but it didn’t hurt to ask.
It’s up to the user to resolve the data, but I need to try and prove to the user that this “duplicate” was a result of a saved/resolved conflict doc and not a bug in any code/design. I’ll use $Revisions to compare the two - the first entry is the same for both docs, except for when the dupe was created. It has all the signs, unless some user made a copy an paste.
Thanks for the help !!!
