+or skip the object.
+
+* A visualization with a different ID, but the same origin already exists, which resulted in a conflict error. The `destinationId` field
+contains the `id` of the other visualization, which caused the conflict. The behavior is added to make sure that new objects that can be
+shared between <<xpack-spaces,spaces>> behave in a similar way as legacy non-shareable objects. When a shareable object is exported and then
+imported into a new space, it retains its origin so that the conflicts are encountered as expected. To resolve, overwrite the specified
+destination object, or skip the object.
+
+* Two *Canvas* workpads with different IDs, but the same origin, already exist, which resulted in a conflict error. The `destinations` array
+describes the other workpads which caused the conflict. When a shareable object is exported, imported into a new space, then shared to
+another space where an object of the same origin exists, the conflict error occurs. To resolve, pick a destination object to overwrite, or
+skip the object.
