If Scriptation shows a File Version Conflict message when you open a cloud file, the version saved on your device doesn't match the one in your cloud — usually because the file was changed on another device or in another app. When in doubt, tap Keep current version to keep your local copy and annotations.

Which option should I select?

• Keep current version — keep working on your local copy. The cloud version is now out of sync, so a conflicted copy will likely appear;
• Replace with cloud version — discard unsaved local changes and download the cloud version;
• Keep both versions — create a conflicted copy of your local version so you can choose which draft to keep.

After you choose, drag down in the File Browser to refresh your cloud folders. You'll see a Loading Content message while it syncs.

The message keeps appearing when I'm offline or on weak Wi-Fi

If the connection drops while Scriptation is checking in with your cloud, it can show this message again and again — even for a file you've only edited on one device. To stop it:

1. Update Scriptation to the latest version from the App Store — a fix for false alerts on Dropbox files while offline shipped in Scriptation 6.0.5;
2. When the message appears, tap Keep current version, not Replace with cloud version, so an older cloud copy doesn't overwrite your annotations;
3. For a full day offline, copy the scripts you need into a folder under On My iPad before you go, work from those copies, then copy them back to your cloud folder once you're back on a solid connection;
4. Back online, use Sync to Cloud to push your latest version.

The message keeps appearing for the same file

If a file was moved or renamed outside Scriptation, follow How do I stop the Restore/Delete pop-up from reappearing?. If you're still stuck in a loop, make a copy of the file, give it a new name, and work from the copy.

Still seeing it? Use the Send us an email button at the bottom of this page and include a short screen recording, your Scriptation version, device model, and OS version.
