      Hi
      Please can someone assist .I am trying to edit to an xml file, The file has been previously edited by someone else and I only want to edit some of the changes they made to the file.

      So is it possible to search for specific changes made to the file by them and then change/replace some of those changes.

      Your help is appreciated

        only if you have this file under some kind of version control like git, svn, …
        or you do have the file version before those changes were applied then you
        could use the compare plugin to see what has been changed if eye-comparing
        isn’t possible.

        Cheers
        Claudia

            version control is used to track changes within files (mostly text files).
            Most famous today is, I guess, git.
            But if you have to ask what it is, means that you haven’t used it.
            One other functionality Windows offers is “Previous version”
            Right-click on a file and select properties - the last tab in the property window.
            But this doesn’t, necessarily, give back the previous version but the version
            of the last backup, which means it could have be changed multiple times afterwards.

            So, all in all, this means , that, more or less, you can’t get the information what
            has been changed in the file if you haven’t used one of the tools I mentioned.

            Cheers
