Abstract
Non-limiting examples of the present disclosure describe processing operations that achieve file consistency in the presence of a large-scale collaboration service. A mismatch may be determined between hash values associated with two or more versions of a file that is associated with a tenant of a productivity service. Version vector data for different versions of the file may be evaluated. Version vector data may comprise: a session value indicating a session of the productivity service and a version value that indicates a number of changes made by the tenant during the session. A synchronization determination is generated based on an evaluation of the version vector data for the different versions of the file.
