Comparing Revisions<br />

Comparing Revisions<br />

When you are working with an evolving body of source files, you<br />

can compare two revisions to see what changes you made from one<br />

revision to the next.<br />

With V<strong>Sky</strong> <strong>Software</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> you can compare:<br />

any two text-based revisions in a history<br />

a text-based revision and its associated working file in a<br />

sandbox<br />

any two text files<br />

<strong>The</strong> commands discussed in this section use V<strong>Sky</strong> <strong>Software</strong><br />

<strong>Manager</strong> Visual Difference, which calculates the differences<br />

between working files or revisions and displays them side by side<br />

in their own window, along with a summary of the differences<br />

between them. Using Visual Difference, you can also interactively<br />

merge two members or revisions.<br />

Unlike most features of V<strong>Sky</strong> <strong>Software</strong> <strong>Manager</strong>, Visual Difference<br />

is a standalone application that compares and merges members<br />

and revisions.<br />

To compare two revisions in the graphical user interface<br />

1 With a Member History window open, select two revisions to<br />

compare, or a revision and the working file. To select two<br />

revisions, select the first revision, then hold down or<br />

and click a second revision.<br />

2 Choose History > Differences, or click .<br />

<strong>The</strong> Visual Difference window appears. Both revisions and a<br />

summary of the differences between them are shown in the<br />

Visual Difference window.<br />
