The IDE's Graphical Diff Viewer enables you to compare file
revisions of a file side by side using color coding to emphasize the
differences between the files being compared.
You access the Diff Viewer when you right-click a version-controlled file or folder and choose CVS > Diff.
The toolbar in the Diff Viewer enables you to do the following actions:
- Choose the modified files displayed.. You can choose which file revisions are being compared.
