Examining and Applying Differences

Use the comparison window's toolbar and difference list to choose among the differences between the source and destination files and apply changes to the destination file.
To view a difference between the two files, click its entry in the difference list. To apply the difference, click the Apply button in the toolbar or choose Apply Difference from the Search Menu. To reverse a difference you've already applied, click the Unapply button or choose Unapply Difference from the Search Menu.
WARNING!
Currently, using the Apply Difference and Unapply Difference buttons erase all actions from the Undo stack. In other words, when you exit the Difference window after apply or unapplying, all undo and redo actions will have been cleared from the Undo stack.
To Compare Editor Files
To compare two files that are already open in editor windows, click on the Editor Files pop-up menu next to the source and destination paths, as shown in Figure 4.15. A list of open editor windows appears. Choose a file name from the menu to make it the source or destination file. Click Compare after choosing the source and destination files to display the comparison window.
NOTE
If you have trouble comparing files, ensure that their enclosing folders' names do not match the criteria specified in the Shielded Folders preference panel. The IDE ignores folders whose names match the shielding criteria. Ignored folders and their contents do not appear in the file comparison window.
