I used to be a Notes Developer (i.e. wrote Notes applications, rather than wrote the code for Notes itself). From what I remember, replication used to take place in the background.

If two people were editing the same document in different replicas of the same database, then you would get two copies of the document with one labelled as a "replication or save conflict".
