The Backup History feature is available for viewing and comparing the differences between the current
and previous versions of an open file. It utilizes the DIFFzilla

®

dialog for diffs (see

3-Way Merge

The 3-Way Merge editing feature can be used after two people make a local copy of the same source file,
and each makes modifications to their local copy. The 3-Way Merge takes both sets of changes and cre-
ates a new source file. If there are any differences, a dialog box is displayed that lets you select the
changes that you want in the output file. The output file can be viewed side-by-side or interleaved.

Performing a Three-Way Merge

To perform a three-way merge, complete the following steps:

1. From the main menu, click Tools

File Merge (or use the merge command). The 3-Way Merge

Setup dialog is displayed.
