If there are items with the same ID in the package and in the target installation, users will see prompt dialogue windows which allow to choose how to resolve the collision. The collision will be resolved automatically if the Installation options were set for the items during package creation.

Note: if a parent for an item being installed does not exist, it will be created based on the Folder template and will not contain any fields.

Restart
