1. Issue: Add a “Help” icon to the Sync Conflict dialog in AnkiDroid to make it easier for users to understand and resolve sync conflicts.
2. Goal: The icon should link to an explanation — ideally an AnkiDroid-specific help page instead of the generic Anki manual.
3. Discussion: Contributors debated between using an external link or an in-app dialog; in-app was preferred for better accessibility and user experience.
4. Progress: Several contributors showed interest, but work stalled; later, @sakesane proposed a simple design with a help icon and concise in-app explanation.
5. Current Status: Issue remains open and is blocked until the related documentation page (ankidroiddocs#166) is updated; final plan is to add the icon and link first, then refine dialog content in a separate issue.

@LakshyaPatni1 Feel free to start with the summarization so we can figure out next steps

@david-allison may i ask why himanshjangra1's comment is hidden as off topic (I don't know whether it is a github robot behavior or not)? I think that maybe already enough as a conclusion.

It doesn't appear to have summarised the discussion on the linked issue. Looks LLM generated

Sure, cheers

@david-allison that was just formatted by Chatgpt, because I doesn't belong from english origin so I may make some grammatical error, so I just explained the summary to chatgpt and it just formatted it in this way.

@david-allison next time I will make sure to write my own in any other chat and can do the same for this if you want me to 🙂

[david-allison]

It's fine, issue has been reassigned, and we have more issues which need to be fixed than people to work on them

[himanshjangra1]

@david-allison can you suggest me something for GSOC 🤔.

The standard advice is to pick a few warnings from the following to get used to the codebase:

Come to Discord and you'll get more tailored advice from the community, this conversation is off-topic for the issue

Hi — I’d like to work on improving the sync conflict dialog content as part of GSoC prep. I’ll propose wording changes and open a small PR for review. Thanks!
