Viewing label differences

You can compare two labels to determine the missing, different, or identical files between the labels. If the labels are applied to different file versions, you can diff the files to determine the content differences. If a bug is introduced in a build, this can help with troubleshooting.

1. Select the mainline branch that includes the labeled files.

2. Choose Tools > Labels.

The Labels dialog box opens.

3. Ctrl+click the two labels to compare.

Tip: Use the Filename Search field to limit the list to filenames that contain the text you enter. Searches are not case sensitive and cannot include wildcard characters.

4. Click Differences.

The Label Differences dialog box opens. A progress indicator may open if the labels are applied to several files.

5. Select any options to control which files are displayed.

Show missing files displays files that do not have one of the labels applied.
Show files with different versions displays files with different contents between the labels.
Show identical files displays files with identical contents between the labels.

6. Select a file with version differences and click Differences to compare versions. See Viewing file differences.

7. Click Save As to save the label differences or click Print to print the differences.

8. Click Close when you finish.
