What Is a Conflicting File?

A conflicting file is a file that the application automatically creates to prevent data loss when problems occur during saving.

In a collaborative environment, multiple users can work and access drawings from any device, at any time. When different users open the same drawing at the same time, conflicts may appear when users open a drawing in Edit mode and try to save the drawing at any time. If a problem occurs while saving the drawing, the application saves the latest changes to a conflicting file.

The application saves the conflicting file in the same folder as the original drawing.

Conflicting file appears in the Recent File list.

Additionally, the user receives an email with the message that a conflicting file has been created and all changes are saved.

The conflicting file safely stores all changes that have not been saved in the original drawing after the last save.
