The ECO Decision dialog
Summary
After chosing and comparing two documents, the Comparator lists any differences found between them. The ECO Decision dialog allows you to decide the direction of update (which of the compared documents to update) on an individual difference basis. It also allows you to specify that no update is required, which translates to no action being taken in either document.
Access
The dialog is accessed from the Differences between dialog by clicking the associated entry for a listed difference in the Update Decision column.
Options/Controls
