Manage document updates

When multiple users hold local copies of a Document Workspace document, the Document Updates pane provides you with options for managing the edits. When changes to your local copy are found to conflict with the version stored in the site, this feature enables you to compare the two versions, overwrite either copy, or merge the two copies.
