I'm wondering if that's obvious to the user?

I'm tempted to replace 'overwrite local changes' with 'overwrite your changes', except that, that's not always true, because somebody else's changes may have been applied either via an update or sharing edits.

Let's keep it to "There are 5 pending changes." and see what kind of confusion that incurs before tweaking the wording?

Mimi :o)

The top should probably say something like "There are 5 pending changes from your collaborators that could not be applied because they would overwrite local changes". Maybe not that phrasing, but something to indicate that the reason Chandler didn't just do these changes is that you're going to possibly lose something by applying them.

Other than that, +1.
