To prevent a data loss, do one of the following: • Change the save_to_ws.upload preference to No in the wgmclient.ini file. • In the Save to Workspace window, click Tools and clear the Upload box. This setting lets you save the file locally and rename it to resolve the conflicts. After renaming, you can then upload and check in the file to Windchill.
