Editing Files in a File Compare/Merge Session

  1. Start a main or standalone File Compare/Merge session on two files you want to compare.

    The File Compare/Merge panes display the differences between the two files in color differences blocks.

  2. Edit the files by modifying text directly in the edit panes.

    Use standard editing techniques or use the dynamic editing buttons in the color differences blocks.

Note: You cannot modify the actual revision of a file in the StarTeam repository. If one of the files you are comparing is a revision in the repository, File Compare/Merge creates a temporary copy of the file locally, which you can also edit and save locally with a different filename.
