Compare a Branch Version with Its Parent Trunk Version

You can compare a branch version with its parent trunk version from the Explorer View tree or the Item History diagram.

To compare a branch version with its parent trunk version, right-click a branch version, and select Compare with Trunk from the shortcut menu.

The compare tool appears and displays the differences between the branch version and its parent trunk version. For R-tagged versions, the comparison uses the local content from the file system. This local content displays in the left pane to compare with the parent trunk, which displays in the right pane.

Note: If you configured an external comparison tool in Preferences, the external tool appears.
