Setting Color Options for Mapped File Differences

If you need to merge mapped files, you can view differences between the files. When viewing file differences between a local copy of a file and the original file located elsewhere, you can select color options to display the files. Color coding makes it easier to discern where differences between files occur.

How to Set Color Options for Mapped File Differences

  1. Go through the process of merging mapped files. See Merging Mapped Files.
  2. In the local toolbar of the Merge Changes dialog, click Options. The File Differences dialog opens.
  3. Change the text or background color for any of the difference types. To do this, simply click in the appropriate Text or Background cell and select Pick Color. In the Color Picker dialog, choose the new color.
  4. Click OK.
