Comparing a Target File with the Proposed Merge Results

When you are in a View Compare/Merge session, you can compare the text contents of the target file with the proposed merge results using the Merge Perspective.

  1. Start a View Compare/Merge session using the View Compare/Merge Wizard.
    By default, the View Compare/Merge window opens in the Merge Perspective. Stay in this perspective.
  2. Select a file with differences, having a merge status of either Unresolved (question mark), or Resolved (check mark).
  3. Click the File Comparison: Target, Merged tab at the bottom of the lower pane.
Note: This pane only allows you to compare the file differences. To merge the differences, you can open StarTeam File Compare/Merge.
