# Welcome

## Introduction

Welcome to the documentation site for **Smart Merge V**. These docs are written for FiveM server owners, server maintainers, and content creators who need a practical way to fix map and resource conflicts without manually comparing every GTA V file.

Smart Merge V helps you select the resources that are visibly broken, review detected conflict groups, create a cloud merge task, download the generated resource, and load it correctly on your server. It is available as a web app, Windows desktop app, Linux desktop app, and CLI archive.

## What is Smart Merge V?

**Smart Merge V** is a merge workflow for GTA V and FiveM resource files. It focuses on the files that commonly break when multiple resources touch the same area, collision, model, map placement, or navigation data.

In simple terms, Smart Merge V helps turn overlapping server resources into one generated resource that can be loaded after the originals.

{% hint style="info" %}
Smart Merge V uses a local-first workflow. It scans selected folders on your machine first, then shows the exact supported conflict files before you choose what to upload for cloud processing.

## Start with the symptom

Most users do not start with a file extension. They start with something broken in game:

* props disappear or load as the wrong model
* players hit invisible walls
* players fall through the floor
* buildings, interiors, or props flicker
* LODs or visibility behave strangely

The docs are organized around that workflow: understand the problem, scan the affected resources, merge only what is needed, install the result, and test the area again.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.smartmerge.de/readme.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
