Configure Advanced Settings for Connecting to an Environment
You can choose a synchronization and conflict resolution strategy in the C3 AI VS Code extension advanced settings when you connect to an environment.
Synchronization keeps your local development environment in sync with the remote server. When you make changes locally, they automatically reflect on the remote server. In team environments where multiple developers share the same remote server, synchronization ensures that changes made by any team member automatically distribute to local workspaces so all developers stay current with the latest code changes.
In the C3 AI VS Code extension advanced settings, choose how to synchronize packages that are in the remote server but not in your local workspace. If the same package exists in both the remote server and the local workspace, choose how to handle the conflicts.
