Select Change Block lists The three Select Change Block drop down lists provide an easy method to navigate to the desired change blocks based on the status and type of the change block.

For example, if you wanted to navigate to any existing changed and pending change blocks, you would select a State of Pending and a Type of Changed. You could then easily navigate through the resulting change blocks using the Select Change Block Index list.

Select Change Block State

Allows you to filter the change blocks by their state. Options are:
  • All
  • Pending
  • Resolved
Select Change Block Type

Allows you to filter the change blocks by the type. Options are:
  • All
  • Deleted
  • Inserted
  • Changed
  • NoChange
Select Change Block Index

Allows you to quickly navigate to the change block items that have been filtered using the Select Change Block State and Select Change Block Type lists.
Note: Previous & Next Difference buttons will skip over NoChange change blocks. This will be based on the window in focus.
