Hello @skbabarcs , 

Are you previewing an update set from lower environment? You need to address related errors before commit into higher instance (red banner), and remember in subscription maanagement mapping properly your custom tables with the module which they belong (Normally app engine) (yellow banner)

There are some conflicts in your updateset that why you get that error. 

You have to go to each conflicting records which has conflicts and skip remote update or accept the remote changes.

Hello @skbabarcs 

 

Simple Fix for Error: “Found a local update that is newer than this one”

 

This happens when the same record already exists in the target instance with a newer timestamp.


To fix it:

👉 Go to Update Set Preview → Open the skipped record → Click “Accept Remote Update”.
Then re‑run Preview and Commit the update set.

This forces the update set version to apply and resolves the conflict.
