Pattern Decisions This Source Supports

Pattern Supported decision Required contract Claim note
Conflict resolution Choose conflict resolution when users need a workflow for deciding, merging, skipping, or committing one or more conflicts after they have been detected. The resolver opens from a known conflict and keeps users oriented to the affected object, conflict number, and total unresolved count. Confluence supports conflict display for overlapping edits and choices to continue editing, overwrite, or cancel while preserving another person's saved edits.
Conflict state Choose conflict state when two or more valid versions overlap and a choice, merge, save-copy, discard, or policy resolution is required. Conflict detection stops silent overwrite and keeps every competing value recoverable. Confluence supports concurrent edit notification, automatic non-overlap merge, conflict display, continue editing, overwrite, and cancel choices.
Merge conflict resolver Choose merge conflict resolver for source-control branch conflicts with files, hunks, target/source branch labels, conflict markers, and a resolution commit. The resolver opens from a known merge conflict and keeps branch pair, file path, hunk number, and total unresolved count visible. Confluence concurrent editing provides adjacent evidence for overlap conflict display and explicit choices after automatic merging cannot complete.
