View Compare/Merge allows you to compare and merge one or more sets of files related to specific process items by selecting the process items to which they are linked and pinned (instead of selecting the files themselves).
View Compare/Merge begins comparing the views immediately and opens a VCM session window in the Merge Perspective where you can resolve differences in the process items, and/or the files linked and pinned to them. Items with unresolved content or property differences are easy to find. In the Merge Status column for each of these items, View Compare/Merge displays a question mark, followed by the word Unresolved. The component tabs and folders also display a question mark if they contain items with unresolved differences.
If View Compare/Merge can propose an appropriate merge action, it displays the item's status as Resolved with a green check mark. You can change any proposed action with another possible action.
You must resolve each merge conflict before you can complete the merge and commit the changes.
