Comparing and Merging › Compare Two Versions

Compare Two Versions

You can compare any two versions of an item.

Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the item that has versions you want to compare.
2. Select two versions, right-click one of the versions, and select Compare from the shortcut menu.

   The compare tool appears and displays the differences between the two versions.

   • If one of the compared versions is a large file (according to your preferences set in the Version page), the Compare Version Attributes dialog opens.
   • The external compare tool appears if you invoked the compare from the Explorer tree and if you configured an external comparison tool in Preferences.
   • The default Eclipse compare/merge tool appears if you invoked the compare from the workspace.
   • The Compare tool uses the local file content and the local path from the file system for an R-tagged file.
