File Version Conflict Checker
Upload a batch of files and detect version-naming conflicts — like two different "v2" copies that were clearly edited separately by different people.
How to use File Version Conflict Checker
- Start by providing the required input: Drop files with version-style names.
- No additional settings need to be configured.
- This tool has no separate run button; its results update as you add or change the input.
- Review the result or preview on the page and confirm it matches your input before using or sharing it.
When two people both save "the v2 version"
Without a shared system tracking document versions, it's common for two people to independently create their own "v2" of the same file — report-v2-john.docx and report-v2-sarah.docx both existing at once, with no clear record of which one is actually current. Detecting this naming collision automatically flags exactly that situation.
How filenames are parsed into version groups
Files are grouped by their base name and version number extracted from the filename itself (like "report" and "v2" from report-v2-john.docx), so any two files sharing both end up in the same conflict group regardless of what comes after the version number.
What naming pattern does this expect?
Something like name-v2.docx or name-v2-author.docx — a base name, a "v" followed by a version number, and an optional suffix before the extension.
What if my files don't follow a version-naming convention?
They simply won't be matched into groups — this tool specifically needs a detectable version pattern in the filename to work.
Checking software dependency conflicts instead?
Use the Dependency Version Conflict Checker for semver-style package requirement conflicts.
