Dreamweaver Site Synchronization Conflict Resolution for Multi‑User Editing

Dreamweaver Site Synchronization Conflict Resolution for Multi‑User Editing

The goal is to configure Dreamweaver’s site synchronization so that when two developers edit the same remote file concurrently, the system prevents silent overwrites and instead signals a conflict that requires manual resolution. The current implementation relies on timestamp‑and‑size comparison and an optional .lck‑file lock that is not enforced by all FTP/SFTP servers, leaving a gap in automatic conflict detection.

Questions:

• Can Dreamweaver be set to prompt for a manual merge when a local file’s timestamp is older than the remote file but the contents differ?
• Is there a way to enforce server‑side lock files (.lck) across all supported transfer protocols so that external editors cannot bypass the check‑in/out mechanism?
• Does Dreamweaver provide an option to integrate external version‑control tools (e.g., Git) for conflict resolution during synchronization, or must this be handled outside the application?
