Merge, Baby. Merge!
Presentation Abstract
Merging multiple Branches of documentation often creates complex difficulties particularly if the writer(s) are working on the same documentation simultaneously and if the Merge contains conflicts across the Branches. This presentation will explain how a smart system will explicitly detail Merge conflicts i.e. far moves/local moves, missing attributes/conflicting values, updates to content, in-progress translations and present writer(s) with the resolutions.
What can attendees expect to learn?
The audience will learn that although the process of merging documents can be somewhat complex, with the right system and the right setup the complexity can be can be pared-down and instead the user can accomplish the merges efficiently and successfully.
