SNOW-CAD Update Set Practice Question
After importing an update set from another instance, a scoped application shows multiple conflicts in Studio. What is the best first step to resolve?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is to think that the simplest or most drastic action (like discarding all changes or re-importing) is the best first step, but the correct approach is to methodically review and resolve each conflict.

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Review each conflict and choose the correct version.
Reviewing each conflict and choosing the correct version allows the developer to selectively merge changes, preserving important modifications while discarding unwanted ones. Option A is wrong because deleting and re-importing disregards the resolution of conflicts and may lose customizations. Option C is wrong because discarding all local changes removes any work done locally without consideration. Option D is wrong because accepting all remote changes may overwrite intentional local customizations.
