Comparing Historical File Contents

You can only compare historical File contents using the main or embedded File Compare/Merge in the StarTeam client. You cannot edit historical File revisions.

  1. Click the History tab and select two revisions to compare.
  2. Choose Tools > Compare .

    The embedded compare panes display the contents of the two files at the bottom of the StarTeam window.

Note: You can also compare the properties of two non-File items, such as a change request, or two revisions of the same non-File item. Select the two non-File items, then choose Tools > Compare . This opens the embedded double-paned compare view at the bottom of the window and displays the properties of the two selected items.
