What happens when Rob executes a promotion and detects a conflict?

When a conflict is detected during a promotion in Copado, the system ensures that the user, in this case Rob, is promptly notified of the situation. This notification is essential as it allows Rob to be aware of the conflict and understand that the promotion process cannot continue until the issue is resolved. Stopping the promotion process in the event of a conflict helps maintain data integrity and prevents errors that could arise from merging conflicting changes. This pause in the promotion allows Rob to take necessary actions, such as resolving the conflict or deciding on the appropriate course of action, ensuring a controlled and informed deployment process.

In contrast, scenarios where the promotion process would be ignored, simply receive an email, or complete successfully without addressing the conflict would undermine the system's integrity and could lead to significant issues down the line.
