What strategy does Copado use when conflicts are detected during merge?

The correct strategy employed by Copado when conflicts are detected during a merge is the auto-resolve strategy. This approach allows the system to automatically attempt to reconcile changes that may conflict due to different contributions made to the same part of the code or data. The auto-resolve strategy can use predefined rules and algorithms to decide which version of the conflicting changes to incorporate into the merged result, streamlining the development process and reducing the time developers spend on manual conflict resolution.

This method is particularly effective in environments where frequent changes and updates are made, as it helps maintain productivity. In contrast, relying solely on manual resolution would require more developer time and effort, potentially slowing down the deployment pipeline. Similarly, a default branching strategy or a review and approve system might not efficiently address conflicts during the merge process, as these options may require additional steps or delays before resolving a conflict.
