or from the context menu in the Plant Explorer.
Entity Difference View (Compare)
Differences between a specific item in the system and the Engineering Repository
can be viewed by the Entity Difference View. When the view is enabled it only
shows differences on an entity level (project, application, controller and library).
Objects / Aspects that are part of a filter is not included in the difference
calculations on an entity level, but in the detailed difference. Double-click on an
item for more details. A calculation of the differences will take place for just that
item and the result appears in the right pane. There is a checkbox next to the item
which is checked by default if there are any differences between the repository and
the system. Items that are checked can be exported or imported.
Double-click an aspect from the Aspects area to display the Detailed Difference
Report corresponding to the aspect.
