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.
