Resolving Local Workspace conflicts

A Local Workspace conflict occurs when there is a discrepancy between the Local Workspace copy of a document and the version in the vault. This most often happens when a new document is added to the Local Workspace. It can also happen if a Local Workspace copy is modified without using Meridian in any way, such as with the Open in Application command or with Application Integration. When conflicts occur, Meridian needs you to decide how to resolve them.

If the Local Workspace locked copy is newer than the unlocked vault copy, the value of the Local copy property on the Document property page is displayed in red. When synchronization takes place, the conflict is displayed as a balloon in the system tray, and the BlueCielo Application Integration icon

in the system tray flashes.

To resolve the conflict:

Right-click the BlueCielo Application Integration icon in the system tray. Point to Local Workspace and click View Log. The BlueCielo Local Workspace dialog box appears, similar to the following figure.

Right-click the conflicting document in the lower pane and select an option from the shortcut menu.

The following table describes each option.
