Comparing resources with repository versions

You compare repository files to view the differences between two versions of a file and to reconcile conflicting changes that are made by the team members. You can compare a repository file with its immediate predecessor version in the repository workspace or compare a repository file with its copy in the sandbox.

Procedure

  1. In the Solution Explorer window, right-click a file; then click Team > Show History.
  2. In the History view, right-click a file; then complete one of the following steps:
    • To compare the selected version of the file with its immediate predecessor in the repository, click Compare with Previous.
    • To compare the selected file with its copy in your local repository workspace, click Compare with Local.
