Preparing Your Files for a View Compare/Merge Session
Before starting a View Compare/Merge session, do the following to prepare your files.
Note: To compare or merge specific items in a view, or all items in specific folders in the view, start the View Compare/Merge session from the Advanced context menu on the selected items, rather than from the View menu. When you start a View Compare/Merge session from the View menu, all items of requested types and folders in the view are included.
- Check in any modified files that will be part of the session, and optionally create a view or revision label to use for the source.
- Select the views you want to compare and set their properties to permit items to branch on change.
Note: The target view is the only view that receives the results of the merge.
-
Decide whether you want to merge all changes in a view, or merge changes to selected items in a view.
Select individual items in the upper pane if you are including specific items in the View Compare/Merge session. You can select multiple items on multiple component tabs, including the Folder tab.
