Finding the differences in versions using Visual SourceSafe

One of the most powerful features of a CM tool is it allows you to find out WHO made WHAT change. Visual SourceSafe includes a diff function to assist with this task.

From the Visual SourceSafe explorer select the file which was previously modified (AGBXTRA.XML) components sub directory.

To get to the "Differences" window, select Show Differences from the Tools pulldown menu.

You can compare the current workfile, to a version in the archive, or two archived versions. Once you have made your selection and pressed OK and the "differences" window is displayed showing differences line by line.
