How Metamodel Conflicts Are Resolved During Library Updates
In this chapter, you will learn how ADONIS handles metamodel conflicts when updating a library that contains custom local changes.
When you update your library and the current library contains custom metamodel changes (applied on the Properties page), ADONIS merges these changes with the new version of the library. The table below outlines how conflicts are resolved:
