Following is an explanation of the merge strategies\n\n| Merge Strategy | Behaviour |\n| --- | --- |\n| deleteSource | Forked collection is deleted after merging |\n| updateSourceWithDestination | Forked collection is up to date with changes in destination collection |\n\nIf the collections cannot be merged (due to conflicts), appropriate error messages will be returned.\n\n\n> Requires <a href=\"#authentication\">API Key</a> as `X-Api-Key` request header or `apikey` URL query parameter."
