Accepting and Rejecting Changes

To accept or reject changes within the Outline Editor and Field Grid tabs, it is helpful to have all three versions displayed. The following example shows the Reconciled, Incoming and Existing versions in a side-by-side layout.

The features built into Merge functionality allows you to select whichever versions of the selected change you wish. This is done by right-clicking the Incoming or Existing instance of the change and selecting Select This Version or Reject This Version. When selecting a version from the Existing or Incoming windows, the associated ChangeBlock in the RQDIF window displays the result of your selection (see table below).

Note that when a version is selected, the Select This Version option is disabled and the Reject This Version option is enabled, allowing you the change your selection.

The following table describes the possible options for selections in the Incoming and Existing versions, and their impact on the Reconciled version.


Existing Version	Incoming Version	Reconciled Version
No selection	No selection	Takes the CommonBase version
Select This Version	Select This version	Takes both versions
Reject This Version	Reject This Version	Accepts the default action. If an automatic change, it automatically takes the existing or incoming, based on the instance. If a conflict, it defaults to the existing version.
Select This Version	Reject this Version	Takes existing version
Reject This Version	Select This Version	Takes incoming version

When finished selecting the versions to include, right-click the Reconciled version and select Mark As Resolved. This disables all selection options from the Existing and Incoming versions.

Note: If you need to change your selections after you have marked the Reconciled as resolved, you can right-click the Reconciled version and select Mark As Pending. This makes all versions selectable.
