Comparing rule versions

You can compare certain rule forms to help resolve merge conflicts, review and debug code, and review changes made while the rule was checked out. You can compare a rule with versions of the rule that you have checked out, branched versions, and the same rule in other ruleset versions.

1. In Designer Studio, open the rule on which you want to run the rule compare utility.
2. Click Actions > Compare with..., and select the version of the rule that you want to compare with the current rule.
3. View the list of differences between the current rule and the version for comparison. For the current rule, each list entry shows:
   • The type of change that was made.
   • The name of the page or property that was changed.
   • For modifications, the former and current values.
4. Click the entry on the list to highlight the tab and element in which the change was made on the current ruleform.
5. Expand a list entry to see additional information about page and property changes.

6. Optional: If you make changes to the current rule in this view, click Save changes to compare your revisions.

Note: If you do not have access to make changes to the rule, the Save changes option is not visible. To make and save changes to the rule, exit the Compare view and either check out the rule or save it into a branch.

7. Optional: To compare the current rule with another version, select that version from the list in the Compare Rule header. The view is refreshed with revised change information.
8. Click Exit compare to return to the rule form.
