settings on any element for the compared map source file, even when differences
do not exist. Press the Alt key while clicking the object to view the settings of the

Troubleshooting Tip
If map differences are indicated but not viewable, there is a possibility that if the
map was exported, the adapter specified in the map source file was no longer
supported or not installed at the time of export. When the map source is imported
and then compared, a difference is detected but is not viewable.
Resizing the Map Source File Differences window
File differences are displayed in a spilt-screen window that is divided into four
sections. You can resize any section of the window as needed.
