Three Pane Merge Window
Merging in new Parents
There is a notification that the merge has
started.
After a bit there is a notification that the merge has completed, and
the display is updated with the results:
Left (Base), Middle(Output), Right(Change Source):

Notice that we now have acquired new information for the parents
(George IV and Elizabeth Angela...) and also gotten the information for
Elizabeth II's sister in that same family, Margaret Rose.
Notice, also, that the events associated with the family have also been
brought over
Each time a new person is added from
the change source tree to the
merge output tree the program looks to see if there is any possible
ambiguity. There would be such an ambiguity if the new person
already existed in the base tree, but in a different place. In
that case you would be presented with a choice like the following one
(which would have happened if we didn't mark Queen Elizabeth II as
matched before we
did this merge):

It is asking us if the old Queen
Elizabeth II and the new Queen
Elizabeth II are the same person or not. Since they are the same
person we select the old (yellow for coming from the base file) Queen
Elizabeth II as the match.
Now that this merge has taken place, all differences for this page are
resolved. What about other differences for this person?
We can look for more unresolved differences about Queen Elizabeth II by
pressing the "Find Unresolved
Difference" button again. It takes a while to look, but there
will be no more differences found in this example. Since
there are no differences found, we see the following notifier:

It is appropriate at this point that we
mark
Queen Elizabeth II as
done. Doing so will close
this Three-pane Merge Window.
Press "Next->" below to see a discussion of the results and continue
to other merge scenatios.
