A composite difference is the aggregate of several individual but related changes between versions of a model. If you perform one action that creates multiple differences or conflicts, the result can appear as a single change, which is known as a composite difference.
For example, if you change the position of an element in a diagram, you create two changes: one for the X property and one for the Y property of the diagram element. Instead of displaying the X and Y changes as two differences, the changes are grouped together and displayed as a single difference. This grouping reduces the number of differences that you need to examine and makes it easier for you to analyze the origin of each difference.
