Sync conflicts and clean up

[kbanshee]

I am starting a new topic since the one I’m referring to was back in February. Apologies if that isn’t the preferred method.

Back in February Katherine posted:

If you are getting persistent sync conflicts in spite of following good synchronization hygiene, one possibility is that there is pre-existing corruption in the project. This is especially likely if the versions of the project on various devices appear different.

I would recommend manually reviewing the project for conflict files, then using the resulting “good” version to replace all other versions. This will be easier to do on the Mac because Finder makes it easier to look at the internal structure of the project.

If you still have the issue after working through the troubleshooting guides I posted earlier, let me know and I’ll post a link to a cleanup procedure.

I would appreciate seeing that clean up procedure. I use the most current version of Scrivener on iOS (75% iPad 25% iPhone). I haven’t opened the project in question on Marcos at all. I am very careful with the “sync hygiene” but still have a long list of conflicts about 90% of the time(long to me is 30).
I have carefully reviewed and deleted or re -placed files each frustrating time.
Today I noticed that the text & few images are missing out of all of my early files…the 1st 50 or so I created for sure.
So cleanup…and recovery procedures…please.
Thanks

Note that the Scrivener project format is different in Version 3, but the underlying principle is the same.
