Merging IS Elements
When comparing two IS elements using the compare tool, you can merge changes from one element to another. The merge icons are enabled only if there are any changes. If the elements are read-only, the corresponding icons are disabled. For example, if the elements on the right side are read-only, the left to right merge icon is disabled.
Changes cannot be merged if:
You do not have the IS element locked for edit.
The IS element is retrieved from VCS repository.
You do not have Write ACL privileges to the IS element.
Changes depend on some other conditions. For example in IS document type element, you cannot merge
Time to live property if the
Discard property is set to false. For more information on IS element properties, see
Properties.
Use the toolbar icons above the Change List panel in the compare editor to merge the changes:
