Traditionally it's up to you, to decide what caused the replication conflict.You would normally open both documents, and try to figure out which fields contains the differences. When the fields has been identified, you must decide which of the versions to keep. Refer to the example in the previous section; which of the telephone numbers is correct ? When all this is done, you would update the winner with the correct data, and finally delete the looser documents. The conflict is solved!
The benefit of having replication conflicts is that no data is lost, while the challenge is to resolve the conflicts later.
Remember that Domino has the possibility to have automatic resolving of replication conflicts enabled. This feature enable Domino to automatically resolve conflicts if the changes has all been done to different fields. Refer to the example in the above section; If the employee changed the postal address, while the secretary changed the telephone number, Domino would be able to merge all changes into one document, since the changes was done to different fields.
