Three Pane Merge Window
Merging in New Parents
Table of Contents
Left (Base), Middle(Output), Right(Change Source):
The following picture shows what we get when we open the Three-pane
Merge Editor Window on Queen Elizableth.
There are many pages of possible information on one individual.
Usually, many of them will be empty, but a few will have data on
them. Sometimes the data in the two files will match, as happens
for this view of "Identity", which means aliases and names.

The following picture shows a partial list of the pages available to
view:

In this situation we know that we want to capture differences in
information about Parents, so we could go directly to the "My Parent's
Family" page. We can also ask the program to find where there are
differences for us by
pressing the "Find
Unresolved Differences"
button. In either case, we will get to a picture like the
following:

This picture shows that the base file has no information about the
parent's family and the change source file does have information.
Each place where there is different information to contribute has the
outline tab colored red to show that there is an unresolved
difference. If we wished to ignore this new information we could
check the checkboxes in the merge output file column:

In this case we are going to capture the new information about
parents. If we wanted only to capture the information on one
parent, such as George IV, we would select him in the right column to
push that information to the center. But we can capture the whole
family at once by
pressing the top
button in the right column,
"This individual is a child of 1 known family". This will push
all
the information underneath to the center. Try that now.
