Component Name Collision Dialog - Property Compare Tab Overview
Use the collision dialog box to find differences between the imported component and the existing component.
A message is displayed at the top of the dialog indicating whether or not there are differences in the property values. Where property values are different, the name of the property is displayed in bold print and the row is highlighted.
Properties are displayed in the import columns and provide additional information about the component.
TIP:
If you use this dialog box to compare the differences between new and existing Add-On Instructions:
- An attribute list compares the existing Add-On Instruction to the one being imported for easy comparison. The attribute list is read-only.
- For attributes that are different, the attribute name appears bold and the attribute row appears highlighted.
