What does Copado do if there is a conflict during a validation deployment?

In the event of a conflict during a validation deployment, Copado will review the errors and allow for correction before proceeding with the deployment. This approach is crucial because conflicts can arise from various sources, such as overlapping changes to the same metadata components by different user stories. By reviewing the errors, users have the opportunity to analyze the conflict, understand its implications, and make necessary adjustments to the affected user stories or metadata. This ensures that only valid and conflict-free changes are deployed, which helps maintain the integrity of the development process and prevents issues that could arise from unresolved conflicts in the production environment.

The emphasis on conflict resolution before deployment reflects best practices in version control and environment management. It prioritizes accuracy and stability in deployed changes, allowing teams to work collaboratively while maintaining the quality of their outputs.
