To accept difference resolutions automatically

About this task

Typically, Diff Merge begins a session by resolving all nonconflicting (also called automatic) differences and then presents to you the differences that remain. (A nonconflicting difference is a difference that is displayed in only one contributor.)

Procedure

To see nonconflicting differences before they are resolved, use one of the following commands to resolve them:
  • Click Tools > Accept All Automatic Diffs to resolve all nonconflicting differences.
  • Click one of the following commands to resolve all nonconflicting differences in the to-version contributor:
    • On Linux, Tools > Accept only "To-version" Automatic Diffs
    • On Windows systems, Tools > Accept "To-version" Automatic Diffs

Results

In either case, you must then resolve the remaining differences manually.
