Synchronize scrolling between panes in compare viewers
|
The two comparison viewers will "lock scroll" along with
one another in order to keep identical and corresponding portions of the
code in each pane side-by-side.
Turn this option off if you do not want the compare viewers to lock scroll. |
On

Show ancestor pane initially
|
Sometimes you want to compare two versions of a resource
with the previous version from which they were both derived. This is called
their common ancestor, and it appears in its own comparison pane
during a three way compare.
Turn this option on if you want the ancestor pane to always appear at the start of a comparison. |
Off
|
Show pseudo conflicts
|
Displays pseudo conflicts, which occur when two developers
make the same change (e.g., both add or remove the exact same line of code
or comment).
Turn this option on if you want pseudo conflicts to appear in compare browsers. |
