Move tracking with conflict resolution is provided. When a tracked move of text or other objects from one location in a document to a second location in the document is performed, data representing a pre-move state of the text or objects and data representing a post-move state of the text or objects are stored for subsequent comparison. If the text/object move is subsequently rejected, a comparison is made between the post-move state and the pre-move state to determine if changes have been made to the text or objects after the move to the second location. If changes have been made, a conflict resolution dialog is automatically launched and displays a graphical representation of the two versions of the moved text or objects. The user may then select one of the two versions for replacement back to the first document location to complete the move rejection.
