Baseline Comparison Tab Options

The Baseline Comparison tab enables you to perform operations on the reported information, using the toolbar, context menu, Merge dialog and certain keyboard keys.

•	The toolbar is at the top of the left-hand panel; the icons operate either on the comparison as a whole or on the currently-selected item in the left hand panel of the Baseline Comparison tab

•	Each item in the hierarchy has a context menu, which you display by right-clicking on the item; the options displayed depend on the level of the item in the hierarchy

•	The Merge dialog enables you to specify which changes to roll back in the model from the baseline

•	You can use a selection of keyboard keys to move up and down the hierarchy, or to roll back changes
