| Clone | A clone is an identical copy of an integration that you can modify independent of the original integration. |
| Conflict | Conflicts are competing changes between your current integration and the remote integration. |
| Current | A current integration is an integration that you work on and into which you pull changes from a remote integration. |
| Merge | When you merge integrations, you accept changes and update resources from the remote integration to your current integration. Merge is a part of a pull. |
