How can you identify conflicts in object extensions effectively?

Identifying conflicts in object extensions effectively can be done using the Content Validator. This tool is specifically designed to check for any issues or conflicts in LookML code, including conflicts that arise from the extension of objects. When you use the Content Validator, it analyzes your LookML for compatibility issues, incorrect syntax, and potential conflicts that might occur due to extended objects.

This capability is crucial for maintaining the integrity of your LookML models when working with extensions, as it can help catch errors before your models are deployed. By ensuring that any conflicts are identified and addressed early in the development process, you can improve the quality and reliability of your Looker project.

Other methods, such as reviewing user permissions or testing queries in Explore, may not systematically identify LookML code conflicts. Manually inspecting dashboards might uncover visual issues or performance problems but would not focus on the underlying LookML code itself, making the Content Validator the most effective choice for identifying conflicts in object extensions.
