How to Resolve Form Conflicts

Two users can update a form at the same time. When you save the form that you have open, a dialog appears that lets you view and merge the differences between the form that you have open and the form that another user has open. The upper pane of the dialog displays individual form fields that conflict, organized in a tree by form pages.

Follow these steps:

1. Navigate the upper pane to a conflicting form field, and click it.

   Your current form field shows in the left pane and the right pane shows the form values that are currently stored on the server. The panes synchronize so that the two panes display the same fields.

2. Resolve conflicts in the left pane in the following ways:
   • Copy a change from right to left using toolbar actions.
   • Manually edit text in the left pane.
   • Accept changes in the left pane so that they overwrite the server field value.

   Note: The left pane contents only will be saved.

   Conflicts are resolved.

3. Click OK.

   The form merge dialog closes and the merged form contents are saved.
