iCloud Sync conflict summary
When there is database Sync Conflict, it would be extremely useful to be able to see a quick summary of changes made so that one can make a correct decision to either merge or pick one data base over the other. Currently, I have to rely on my memory, which is not very reliable, or make a blind guess. Apologies if this feature already exist and I don't know it. In that case, I would be grateful some directions on how to use it. Regard,
Hi, yes, you should be able to see a "Diff" or "Compare" view. What do you see when you get a sync conflict? Do you not see any option to 'Compare'? Could you send a screen shot of what you are seeing?
Thank you for the reply,
Sorry if I caused a bit of confusion. What I meant to say was that it would be good to be able to compare when there is "version conflict", similar to options provided when there is "sync conflict" between remote and local DBs.
In case of "version conflict" one is only given a choice between what DB to pick - see attached. It would be nice to have a "compare option" so that one can see what is being added when I pick one or the other version
Oh, that's much better. So this is iCloud specific issue only, and we have plans to try to improve this in the future. Other providers do offer the ability to view changes when there is a sync conflict.
Thank you, Mark. Will eagerly wait for iCloud enhancement for this.
