4.3 Comparing Models

Once you have a folder in the Files View, you can immediately open documents within that folder via double-click. Double-click will open trees via the Tree Diagram Editor. It will also open files that require additional editors like Excel™ and Word™. The right-click menu provides access to file editing options like delete, move, and rename.

In addition, Files View provides limited version control through the three menus: Team; Compare With and Replace With. These options allow you to compare the current version of the file with prior versions (right click on the File.

When choosing where to save a file, you have two options from the menu:

1. File > Save in Workspace: Save your file within an existing project in the workspace. The file will be saved within the project's root folder, which could be on your computer or on a network.

2. File > Save As: Save your file as an independent document on your computer or on a network.

Note that when you save your models within a Project, TreeAge Pro provides tools to allow you to see revisions of the model and compare versions. Hidden revision files are stored within your TreeAge workspace to provide access to revisions beyond what you save directly.

To compare with recent revisions:

1. Right-click on a model file and choose Compare With > Local History from the context menu.

2. Choose a revision to compare to the latest copy.

To compare two model files:

1. Click on one model file to select it.

2. Hold the Control key down and click on a second file to select both files.

3. Right-click on either selected file and choose Compare With > Each Other from the context menu.
