When I right click an activesync connection and choose settings it gives me the option: If there is a conflict: Replace item on device OR replace item on desktop.
I'm a little fuzzy about what's happening here. So lets run through some scenarios and see if this is correct.
- If I add a calendar date on my computer and sync - phone updates to match?
- If I add a calendar date on my phone, then sync- desktop updates to match?
- If i add a calendar date on both, then sync - Do they both update? Or does one of them replace the other?
- If it's the former, can't they just merge? Or does this only occur if they can't merge because of something in the same slot?
- Is there someway for it to just tell you there's a conflict and let you manually fix it instead of writing over your saved info?
Now... how does this apply to files, like a spreadsheet or shopping list in the synced files folder. Say I add an item to the list on my ppc, do I have to sync before I can change anything on the computer version?
Lastly, can activesync sync this info between my desktop and laptop over my wifi on a regular basis, so I only have to connect the phone to one or the other?
