Comparing workspaces and streams

If you want to see the differences between a workspace and a stream, you can compare them. You can also compare a workspace with another workspace or a stream with another stream.

Before you begin

Before you compare, you must create the workspaces and streams.

About this task

You can compare a workspace with another workspace or a stream either from the Team Artifacts tool window or from the Pending Changes tool window.
Note: You can compare a stream with another stream or a workspace only from the Team Artifacts tool window.

To compare a workspace or a stream with another workspace or a stream:

Procedure

  1. In the Team Artifacts tool window, right-click a workspace or a stream and click Compare With > Another Workspace or Stream. Alternatively, you can select a workspace from the Pending Changes tool window.
  2. In the Select a Stream or Workspace window, select the type of compare that you want to do. If your compare result is not displayed, type a text string to specify the name of a stream or workspace. If you do not remember the name of the stream or workspace, you can also type the owner's name to see a list of streams or workspaces associated with that owner.
  3. Select a stream or workspace from the Matching items list and click OK.
