Viewing Changes in Context

A successful reconciliation of both conflicting and single changes depends on your ability to move rapidly from one view of the change to another. This functionality enables you to investigate any combination of derivatives—from conflicts to single changes to remaining records. For this purpose, M+R supports simple query commands to extract the different views. Each view provides a different context for consolidation so that you can choose the context that best helps you perform your task.

Viewing a particular derivative in M+R reveals the changes it has made to the base; that is, you observe those changes in context. With the M+R context-sensitive Version Browser, you browse the text of a derivative together with those base records that it has changed or deleted. In other words, you browse a derivative in the context of its changes to the base version. All other derivatives are excluded from this type of view, but you can selectively include them with primary and line commands.
