Microsoft Replication Interactive Conflict Resolver

The Interactive Conflict Resolver can be used for merge subscriptions that are synchronized using Windows Synchronization Manager. It allows you to view, compare, edit, and select the outcome for data conflicts. Replication also includes the Conflict Viewer, which allows you to view and modify conflict outcomes after they have been committed. The Interactive Conflict Resolver allows you to select the outcome during synchronization.

Note

Conflicts that involve logical records are not displayed in the Interactive Resolver. To view information about these conflicts, use replication stored procedures. For more information, see How to: View Conflict Information for Merge Publications (Replication Transact-SQL Programming).
