# Resolve Memory Conflict

> Apply a resolution strategy to a memory conflict

```
POST /openapi/memorylake/api/v2/projects/{id}/memories/conflicts/{conflictId}/resolve
```

Records the user's decision on a conflict. Depending on the strategy, one or more of the conflicting memories may be forgotten — those IDs come back in `forgotten_memory_ids` so your UI can update the corresponding memory rows.

<Note>
  **Permission required:** [`project:mem_conflict_resolve`](/features/team-collaboration/permission-reference#resolve-conflicting-facts) · `instance`
</Note>

### Path Parameters

<ParamField path="id" type="string" required>
  Project ID
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="conflictId" type="string" required>
  Conflict ID
</ParamField>

### Request Body

<ParamField body="strategy" type="string" required>
  Resolution strategy. Each strategy fits a particular conflict shape:

  | Strategy         | What it does                                                                                                       | Memories forgotten      |
  | ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------- |
  | `keep_memory`    | Keep one memory from the conflict set; drop the rest. **Requires** `keep_memory_id`. Typical for memory-vs-memory. | The memories not chosen |
  | `trust_memory`   | Keep the memory and treat the file-side disagreement as resolved. Typical for memory-vs-document.                  | None                    |
  | `trust_document` | Drop the conflicting memory in favor of the document. Typical for memory-vs-document.                              | The conflicting memory  |
  | `dismiss`        | Mark as resolved without changing any memories — use when the conflict is a false alarm.                           | None                    |
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="keep_memory_id" type="string">
  The `memory_id` to keep. Required when `strategy` is `keep_memory`; ignored otherwise.
</ParamField>
