Default File Merge Tool

The default file merge tool in the Visual Studio integration is Araxis Merge, an advanced two and three-way file comparison (diff), merging, and folder synchronization tool.

To access help in Araxis Merge:

- Use the commands in the Help menu.

- Press the F1 key. Some windows also contain a Help button.

You can change the default file merge tool to the legacy merge tool or any other third-party application. For details about configuring the default merge tools, see Administration.
