Numeric Key Menu Option Function
2 Execute M+R compares and merges the versions, then displays them for you to browse and edit; that is, to reconcile.
3 Save This option is rarely used. M+R automatically saves the edits when you exit from the Reconcile panel.
4 Load If you want to continue a reconciliation effort started previously, choose this option. M+R will load and verify your work.
