Both ArcMap and ArcFM Mobile provide tools for viewing, without necessarily resolving, conflicts between versions. Identifying potential conflicts before attempting to reconcile a version can be particularly beneficial in a batch reconciling environment where humans will not normally be present during the actual reconcile.
ArcSDE Version Changes Command
Includes: All edits in the current version, as long as those edits are to layers that are both in the current map document and in the current workspace. For edits that conflict with a chosen ancestral or descendant version, both of the conflicting values plus the original value are shown.
Available: Whether editing or not, as soon as the desired version is chosen on the Table of Contents Source tab. After clicking the Version Changes button, you will be prompted to choose an ancestor. If the current version is DEFAULT, you will be prompted to choose a descendant instead.

Mobile Conflicts Report
Includes: Any features and objects in the currently open Session/Design which are in conflict with features or objects in the target version, normally DEFAULT.
Available: While a mobile Session or Design that was previously edited in the field (e.g. a truck or remote office) is on the enterprise (e.g. a main office). Some flavor of ArcFM Mobile must be configured (Redliner, Inspector, Mobile ArcFM, or Mobile Designer). If there are conflicts, the Mobile Conflicts Report will appear automatically when the Session/Design is opened on the enterprise. An administrator may configure a "Display Conflicts Report" task to let users view the report from Session Manager or Workflow Manager without having to open the Session/Design.
