The Content panel is located below the Change List panel and provides a visual, element-level view of the differences between the elements being compared. The difference that you select in the Change List panel is displayed in detail in the Content panel.

Designer displays the asset whose fully qualified name appears first in ascending order from A to Z on the left side of the Content panel. For example, when comparing a service named folder.subfolder:aaa to a service named folder.subfolder.zzz, the folder.subfolder:aaa always appears on the left side of the Content panel.

Designer indicates each change by highlighting an existing item in a package or element on one side with a box. Designer uses a line to link the item to the corresponding item in the package or element on the other side where the item is present or should have been present.
