The Backup History feature is available for viewing and comparing the differences between the current
and previous versions of an open file. It utilizes the DIFFzilla® dialog for diffs (see Using the DIFFzilla Dia-
log). For more information about this working with Backup History, see File History and Backups.
3-Way Merge
The 3-Way Merge editing feature can be used after two people make a local copy of the same source file,
and each makes modifications to their local copy. The 3-Way Merge takes both sets of changes and cre-
ates a new source file. If there are any differences, a dialog box is displayed that lets you select the
changes that you want in the output file. The output file can be viewed side-by-side or interleaved.
Performing a Three-Way Merge
To perform a three-way merge, complete the following steps:
1. From the main menu, click Tools → File Merge (or use the merge command). The 3-Way Merge
Setup dialog is displayed.
