# Project Merge/Compare dialog box

Use this dialog box to merge or compare sets of item revisions in projects, baselines, or folders/directories. You can also compare streams, but you cannot merge them.

Use the Ancestor tab to select the ancestor, or the folder to which other folders are compared.

Use the Derivatives tab to select one or more folders to compare to the ancestor.

Use the Target tab to select or create the resulting merged folder. This is not displayed for the Project Compare dialog box.
