# Error Message: Conflict in file [Std/Pro Only]

## Problem:

The different copies of an item are in a state such that Synk blindly acting could cause you to lose data. By default, Synk flags a conflict and takes no action to allow you to inspect the files and decide the best course of action. These safeguards may be disabled in the "Safeguards" tab.

## Try the following:

- Select an operation for the item during a Preview for the script
- Disable the safeguard in the "Safeguards" tab causing the conflict to be raised. Warning: Disabling safeguards removes a safety net against files being overwritten by accident. Use of an archive for your backup is strongly recommended.
