If the Online Conflict Resolution feature is active, what happens to the merging process when conflicted files are present?

When the Online Conflict Resolution feature is activated, the merging process is designed to handle conflicts that arise when multiple changes occur in the same file. If there are conflicts present, the process does not continue as usual but instead pauses to allow the user to address these conflicts. This ensures that the resolution of discrepancies is managed properly, as automatic merging could lead to unintentional data loss or inconsistency in the final version. The intervention allows for a careful review and resolution of conflicts, maintaining the integrity of the project.

Thus, the merging process stops, awaiting user input to resolve any conflicted files before proceeding further. This careful handling is crucial in collaborative environments where multiple contributors might be working on overlapping sections of code or data.
