What happens with conflicts? |

A. A replication conflict occurs when two or more users edit the same document in different replicas between replications. A save conflict occurs when two or more users edit the same document in a database on a server at the same time. Notes labels documents as replication or save conflicts in the left margin of a view. At the next replication after two or more users edit and save the same document, Notes designates the most frequently edited and saved document as the main document. (If each has been edited and saved the same number of times, Notes designates the most recently saved document as the main document.) Notes displays the other(s) as responses to the main document with a diamond symbol in the left margin. If one user edits and saves a document in a replica and another user then deletes it, the deletion takes precedence. If, however, a document is edited and saved more than once, or if the document is edited and saved after the deletion, the edited document takes precedence. Note All YOURFunction databases merge conflicting edits into a single document whenever possible. In this case, if two users edit different fields in the same document, Notes saves the edits to each field in a single document. However, if two users edit the same field in the same document, Notes saves one document as a main document and the other as a response as described above.
