Resolving a sync conflict

A task changed in both Vindaris and a connected tool at once, and the Sync Center is flagging that they disagree.

In short

Open the Sync Center, compare both versions side by side, and keep yours, take theirs, or merge field by field.

Good fit if a task changed in both Vindaris and a connected tool at once, and the two no longer agree.

When a task lives in both Vindaris and a connected system, the two can drift: someone edits the due date here while someone else changes the status there. Rather than silently picking a winner, Vindaris stops and asks you, in the Sync Center.

  1. Open Sync Center from the sidebar.The "Active Conflicts" section lists each disagreement with the task title, the source system, and when it was detected. A green "No active conflicts" card means everything is consistent.

  2. Click "Resolve" on a conflict to compare the two versions.Your version ("Vindaris: yours") sits on the left, the source ("Jira: theirs", etc.) on the right. Differing fields (title, status, priority, due date, description) are highlighted in amber.
  3. Choose how to resolve: "Keep mine", "Use theirs", or "Merge".Keep mine / Use theirs apply one side wholesale. Merge lets you pick the winning version field by field.
  4. In Merge, select a source per differing field, then confirm.The result writes back both to Vindaris and to the connected system, so the two are consistent again.
Why it works
Why ask instead of just taking the newest edit?

"Newest wins" quietly destroys work: the older edit might be the correct one, made by the person who actually owns the task. Flagging the conflict costs you a few seconds but guarantees no change is lost without a human deciding. The Sync Activity feed below the conflicts shows every inbound and outbound sync so you can see exactly what moved and when.

When teams reach for this

When a task is edited in Vindaris and in a connected tool before they sync, the Sync Center flags that the two versions disagree. It shows them side by side so you can keep yours, take theirs, or merge the fields one by one.

Who it helps

Vindaris fits the project lead and the ops or admin owner of an integration, plus anyone whose tasks sync with Jira, Asana or another tool. It suits scale-ups and mid-market companies, roughly 30 to 500 people and multi-team, where the same work is edited in more than one tool and a silent overwrite would quietly lose someone's change.

Why it helps

When two tools hold the same task and both get edited, taking the newest edit silently would drop whichever change lost the race, and no one would know. The Sync Center flags the disagreement and shows both versions, so a person decides what is correct and nothing is lost without a choice.

In practice

Vindaris maps your strategy, goals and KPIs down to every project and task, and the Work Graph flags execution risk wherever effort has drifted from the goal, with task-level context down to the Slack thread.
