How to: Specify Interactive Conflict Resolution for Merge Articles (SQL Server Management Studio)
To use interactive conflict resolution, it must be enabled for the article and the subscription:
Enable interactive conflict resolution on the Resolver tab of the Article Properties - <Article> dialog box, which is available in the New Publication Wizard and the Publication Properties - <Publication> dialog box. For more information about using the wizard and accessing the dialog box, see How to: Create a Publication and Define Articles (SQL Server Management Studio) and How to: View and Modify Publication and Article Properties (SQL Server Management Studio).
Specify that a subscription should use interactive conflict resolution in the Subscription Properties - <Subscriber>: <SubscriptionDatabase> dialog box. For more information about accessing this dialog box, see How to: View and Modify Push Subscription Properties (SQL Server Management Studio) and How to: View and Modify Pull Subscription Properties (SQL Server Management Studio).
After interactive resolution is enabled, resolve conflicts interactively during synchronization, using the Interactive Resolver. The Interactive Resolver is available through the Microsoft Windows Synchronization Manager. For more information, see How to: Synchronize a Subscription Using Windows Synchronization Manager (Windows Synchronization Manager).
