Comparing a Target File with the Proposed Merge Results

When you are in a View Compare/Merge session, you can compare the text contents of the target file with the proposed merge results using the Merge Perspective.

To compare the contents of the target file with the proposed merge results in a View Compare/Merge session, do the following:

1. Start a View Compare/Merge session using the View Compare/Merge Wizard. By default, the View Compare/Merge window opens in the Merge Perspective. Stay in this perspective.
2. Select a file with differences, having a merge status of either Unresolved (question mark), or Resolved (check mark).

   Note: The View Compare/Merge Wizard uses the configuration to which the view is currently set if you start the wizard from the source view.

3. Click the File Comparison: Target, Merged tab at the bottom of the lower pane.
