To Include or Exclude Contributor Panes


By default, Diff Merge considers all contributors when making a comparison. To exclude a contributor pane from the comparison:

  1. To open the Properties dialog box, click Edit > Properties.
  2. In the Contributors included in comparison/merge list:
    • To exclude a contributor from the comparison, clear the check box that corresponds to that contributor.
    • To include a contributor excluded previously, select its check box.

The first contributor in the list is the base contributor. If you are merging, the last contributor in the list is the to-version contributor.

When comparing, if you make any changes to the listing, Diff Merge restarts the comparison. When merging, you cannot change which contributors are included in or excluded from the merge. (The check boxes and buttons are unavailable.)
