Merging Children
Selecting Charles Philip Arthur makes him become the selected person on
both sides. When that happens we can see that the change source
file on the right knows about his children, but the base file on the
left does not:

Open the Three-pane Merge Window on Charles by
clicking on the "Open
Merge Editor" button, and you will see:

If you
click on the "Find Unresolved
Difference" button, JPrise Gedcom
Merge will look through the pages until it finds that there are
differences on the My Spouses and Children page:

As was the case when we were adding parents, the children show up as
red-highlighted issues needing resolution. These people can be
pushed to the middle either by selecting each individually, or by
selecting the "This family has 2
children..." button above to push all (both)
the children at once.
You will be asked to confirm that William is not the same person as
other people with vaguely similar names:

Since he is not a match for them, but is a new person,
press New.
After the merge, the result will look like:

In the Three-pane Merge Window, when you
press Find
Unresolved
Difference, no differences will be found and you can then
mark Charles
Philip ... as done.
In the Matching Window we see that (blue for change source file) William and
(blue) Henry have
joined the (otherwise yellow for base
file) people on the left. Also, the
matching indicator lock by Charles Philip has turned gold to indicate
his "done" status.

It is always a good idea to mark matches when we see the opportunity,
so before continuing, let's press
the Mark All Likely Matches button
to get Diana marked as matched.
We will now go on to explore a more complicated situation.
