Comparing Integration Server Folders
When you compare the contents of two folders, Designer provides a summary of the differences in folder contents in the Change List panel. However, Designer does not display a Content panel for a side-by-side comparison of an individual difference. Instead, you can use the Change List panel to locate the elements in the Package Navigator view and then compare the individual elements.
Before comparing individual
Integration Server folders, make sure to review the guidelines in
Guidelines for Comparing Packages,
Folders, and Elements.

Integration Server folders

To compare two selected folders in the Package Navigator view, select a folder and press the CTRL key while you select another folder with which you want to compare it. Right-click either selected item and select
