Merging versions of a file

Tip: This feature is available only for Microsoft Word documents.

To combine an existing version of a file with the checked-out version that you have opened in Word, perform a merge.

  1. Click ClearCase > Merge. The Merge window opens and lists all the versions of the file
  2. In the Merge window, select the version that you want to merge into your opened document.

    A new session of Word starts in revision mode. The differences between your current version and the version that you have selected are highlighted in red and marked with change bars.

  3. Use the Accept or Reject Changes window to accept or reject the changed areas of text defined by change bars in the margin of the document. When you are finished, click Close. The Diff Merge confirmation window opens.
  4. Click Yes to save your changes.
  5. Click ClearCase > Check In to check in the merged version.
Tip: If the element type of the file that you are merging is HTML, an HTML browser window opens.
