Understanding the Folder Merge Display |

The Folder Merge display uses color cues to highlight the differences between the base folders. By default, the color meanings are:

|  | Gray | Unknown or older
|  | Black | Same
|  | Teal | Left change
|  | Magenta | Right change
|  | Orange | Mergeable
|  | Red | Conflict

Pick View > Legend to display a guide to the various folder icon color combinations.

To change the default colors, pick Tools > Options , switch to the Colors, Fonts > Folder Views page, and find the Merge colors settings.

You can temporarily hide the Center Pane to give the left and right panes more room.
