Editing a merge output node

You can resolve an editable difference node by either applying a value from one of the contributors, or by editing its value directly on the Edit page. This topic describes the steps and guidelines for working in the Edit page.

  1. Using the difference navigation buttons, select the node that you want to edit. The difference can be resolved or unresolved, but it must be a difference node, and it must be an editable node type.
  2. Click the Edit tab.
  3. Edit the difference node. You can enter text on the Edit page in a variety of ways, including:
    • Typing or pasting text directly in the edit area.
    • Clicking one of the Merge from contributor buttons to applying the current node from a contributor. The text value is inserted in the edit area.

    You can enter any text, including character references. Please note editing restrictions.

    At any point while editing, you can discard your changes by pressing the Escape key. The merge view toggles back to the tree view without saving the edited value.

  4. When you have finished editing, click the Merge tab to return to the tree view.
