| <h1>Comparing resources with repository versions</h1> |
| <p>To compare Workbench resources with those in the repository:</p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>Select a resource in one of the navigation views.</li> |
| <li>From the resource's pop-up menu, select one of the following menu items: |
| <ul> |
| <li><b>Compare With > Latest From <Branch Name></b> or <strong><Version></strong>- Compare the |
| Workbench resource with the latest resources currently committed to the branch that the local project is shared |
| with or if the local project is checked out as a version then compare against the version. A compare editor |
| will be opened. This editor will display a tree of all resource differences between the workspace resource and |
| the latest resources in the repository.</li> |
| <li><b>Compare With > Another Branch or Version</b> - Compare the Workbench resource with a specific version |
| or branch that you select in the repository. A compare editor will be opened. The editor will display a tree of |
| all resource differences between the workspace resource and the resources in the specified version or |
| branch.</li> |
| <li><b>Compare With > History...</b> - (available only on a file) Compare the Workbench file with another |
| revision of the file. Based on your preference settings, either the History view or a dialog will open. The |
| History view (or dialog) will contain a table of all available revisions of the selected file. Selecting one of |
| the revisions will show the differences between the workspace revision and the selected revision.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
| <p><em>Tip</em>: When comparing with a branch or version, you can specify a particular date instead of a version or |
| branch tag. This can be done by right clicking on the <strong>Dates</strong> category in the tag selection list and |
| choosing <strong>Add Date</strong>. A Date Tag dialog is displayed that allows you to specify a date and optionally a |
| time. After you click <strong>Ok</strong>, the date tag will appear in the tag selection list.</p> |
