Resolve Differences Dialog

Use the options in the Resolve Differences Dialog to compare the model in the left pane with the model in the right pane and resolve the displayed differences. You can view the differences on the object level, or more detailed property level. You can search the text of the comparison lists, and you can generate a report of the differences.

Standard Toolbar

Perform a specific action on a selected item in the list of differences. For example, you can copy an item from one model to the other, match or unmatch items, and generate a report.

Impact Analysis Toolbar

Invoke additional functionality as you resolve differences. You can view the Impact Analysis dialog and the Message Log, and generate an alter script for either the left or right model.

Known Differences Toolbar

Mark known differences and work with snapshots. You select rows that you do not want to display in the Resolve Differences dialog, and save the list for retrieval in a future Complete Compare session.

Standard Filters Toolbar

Filter the display of differences in order to refine the compare process.

Navigation Toolbar

Navigate the list of known differences, search for an item, and expand or collapse the trees.

Property View

Displays the properties for the selected object in the Object View pane.

Explain

Opens the Explanation dialog that displays alignment information for the selected row.
