This is a major point of confusion for users, and could be massively improved with a help icon

Needs

  1. Figure out a good page to link to

    • Hopefully something in the Anki Manual/FAQ on sync conflicts
  2. Update the code in the following PR, so we can have all 3 of:

    • A dialog icon
    • A title
    • A 'help' icon

The help icon should look like this:

This is the best topic to link to if you want Anki Manual: https://docs.ankiweb.net/syncing.html#conflicts

Uses desktop specific terms (for now).

We probably want our own, given the dialog is different

The link location also needs to be improved to be AnkiDroid specific

What do you think about the idea of opening an additional dialog box or an in-app page?

(The mental load may be high for common users to open a page outside the app, and especially for non-native English users to read the contents even if they can use automatic translation.)

@snowtimeglass Yes, once we figure out the messaging which we want.

I suspect there's going to be a lot of discussion over the best way to phrase this, and I don't want to burden translators with work which will be wasted
