Merge tab reference
The Merge tab of the Unity Version Control (UVCS) window displays the changes involved in a merge operation with the potential conflicts to solve. You can use this tab to apply the merge in your workspace and solve the conflicts.
You can start a merge operation with either a branch or a changeset:
- Select a branch from the Branches tab and select Merge from this branch.
- Select a changeset from the Changesets tab and select Merge from this changeset.
This opens the Merge tab to show you the changes to merge.
When you open the Unity Version Control window and there is a merge in progress, the window selects the Merge tab automatically.
To add and remove fields from the table, right-click the table header and select the fields you want to show.
