What type of merge does Copado perform for conflicts in permission sets?

Copado utilizes semantic merging for conflicts that arise in permission sets. This approach is particularly useful in situations where multiple changes could affect the same element in the permission set, allowing for a more intelligent resolution of conflicts.

Semantic merging takes into account the specific contexts and relationships of the components involved. In the context of permission sets, it understands how different permissions might interact with one another and determines the best way to consolidate those changes. This method not only prioritizes changes but also ensures that no functionality is inadvertently compromised during the merge process.

By using semantic merging, Copado effectively allows teams to maintain a high level of collaboration without sacrificing the integrity or functionality of permission sets amidst concurrent development activities. This stands in contrast to simpler merge methods that may not consider the nuances of the components being merged, leading to potential issues that can arise from overwriting critical settings.
