You can use the browse mode in the compare editor to explore
diagrams and properties of model elements during a compare or merge
session.
About this task
During a compare or merge session, you can use the browse
mode to see detailed information about changes such as additions or
deletions that contain many nested elements. Although you can see
the model tree in the
Explorer view, you cannot
see detailed properties of each added child element or you must open
diagrams to see them.
To help you see detailed information about
the contributor models or the current merged result model, the browse
mode shows all the contributor panes and the merged result pane. Each
pane consists of the Explorer, Properties,
and Diagram views. To show the additional EMF
(Eclipse Modeling Framework) tree and EMF properties tabs, select
the Display EMF tabs in the Compare/Merge Editor option
on the preferences page ().
Results
You can now inspect the model elements or diagrams in the
Properties view
or the
Diagram view.
Note: When you switch from
the compare mode to the browse mode, the selected element in the model
tree does not change, which helps you keep focus on the element.
