What does the row level tracking tickbox in table properties do?

[Paul]

When you right click over a table, and select properties, you see a tickbox
that allows you to select an Attribute - ROW LEVEL TRACKING.
What does this do?

It does nothing unless you have a replicated database.

Row Level Tracking is how replication conflicts were handled in A97.
By default, A2000+ use Column Level Tracking. You can select
Row Level tracking if you don't want Column Level tracking.

If you select Row Level tracking, you will get a replication conflict
if any column in the row has changed in two different replicas.
