You can compare text elements between UML models in separate
compare sessions. For example, if you make a change to an attribute
name or document field, you can compare each change in a separate
compare session.
Before you begin
You must have a compare session open.
About this task
For multiline text elements such as text in a UML opaque
expression, opaque behavior, or opaque action, the embedded compare
functionality automatically displays the text in the bottom half of
the compare view. For text fields that have HTML content such as documentation,
the style text will be displayed on the
Text tab.
You can switch to the embedded compare functionality or use the
Compare
As Text pop-up menu to make the comparison.
Procedure
- In the Structural changes view, right-click
a conflict or a text change; then click Compare As Text.
- In the Compare window, navigate through
the changes.
- After reviewing the differences, click Close
Sub Compare Session.
