Question on 'conflict resolution'
I have a new computer and installed Zotero 5.0. I just loaded my previous Zotero library onto my computer by syncing it with my online account. A "conflict resolution" dialog box popped up asking me to "click the version to use for resolving conflicting fields. My options are local or remote. After poking around in the support documentation, I am still unsure what to choose. My goal is to populate the new version of Zotero on my computer with my files from my online account.
This discussion has been closed.
In any event, if you want to keep the version in the online library for everything, just select “remote” for all of the conflicts. Zotero only deletes items when you explicitly delete them in the app or online—syncing with an empty library will not delete anything.

And again, I wouldn't really recommend going through with conflict resolution until we figure out why it's happening for you (though starting from a clean directory would be fine).
I don't know how to go back and create a debugging ID that shows what generated the conflict resolution problem for you. Apologies for that. And thanks again for the guidance.
