Automatically merge modifications

All objects that were modified and for which the changes can be merged automatically are displayed in the Changes in source section with the () icon.

It's always a good practice to first look at the changes to make sure that you do want to approve them.

This is done by opening the object in a compare editor. For example, consider a map that includes two new chapters. Opening the map in a compare editor would display the following changes:
Compare simple map changes
The compare editor shows that two chapter references were added to the map.
Note: When you first open the object in a compare editor, the object is locked and the content in the source is inserted into the target object. For example, if you had added a new paragraph in the source topic, the Compare Editor would automatically add it to the target topic.

To automatically apply modifications:

  1. In the Synchronization Tree, right-click the object and select either Merge in > Compare Editor or Merge in > Default Editor depending on which editor you prefer.
    The object is locked and opened in the editor.
  2. Review the changes to confirm that you agree with them.
  3. In the Synchronization Tree, right-click the object and select Replace with Server Revision.
  4. In the Synchronization Tree, right-click the object and select Accept.
    The object is added to the target version. It is also removed from the Changes in source folder and moved to the Reused folder. You can branch it again later on if you need to use it in another version.
