Merge Editor

Resolve content conflicts property by property using native Umbraco editors.

When Conflicts Occur

A conflict occurs when the same content property has been modified on both source and target environments since the last sync. Other sync tools force you to choose one version over the other — losing data either way.

Property-Level Resolution

DoubleSync's merge editor shows you both versions of each conflicting property side by side. For each property, you can:

Use source — Take the value from the source environment

Use target — Keep the current value on the target

Custom value — Edit the value manually using the native Umbraco property editor

Native Editor Rendering

The merge editor renders each property using the exact same Umbraco property editor that you see when editing content normally. Rich Text Editors show rich text, Media Pickers show thumbnails, Block List shows block content. The merge experience feels native, not like a third-party extension.

Multi-Culture Tabs

When resolving conflicts on multilingual content, the merge editor organizes properties by culture variant in tabs. Switch between languages to resolve conflicts in each culture independently.

Complex Property Support

The merge editor supports all property types including:

Rich Text Editor with diff highlighting

Block List and Block Grid with visual comparison

Media Picker with side-by-side image preview

Nested Content with recursive merge

Multi-value editors (tags, checkboxes, etc.)

Requirements

The merge editor requires a Pro, Agency, or Perpetual license.
