Compare files when synchronizing

You can compare the local versions of your files with the remote versions when you synchronize your site files with Dreamweaver.

Before you start, you must install a file comparison tool on your system and specify it in Dreamweaver.

  1. Right-click anywhere in the Files panel and select Synchronize from the context menu.
  2. Complete the Synchronize Files dialog box and click Preview.

    After you click Preview, the selected files and the actions that will be taken during synchronization are listed.

  3. In the list, select each file you want to compare and click the Compare button (the icon with two small pages).
    Note: The file must be text-based, such as HTML or ColdFusion files.

    Dreamweaver starts the comparison tool, which compares the local and remote versions of each file you selected.
