Help:Two Column Edit Conflict View



The Two Column Edit Conflict View is a new interface for the edit conflict resolution page. It highlights differences between the editor's change and the conflicting change directly in the text field, making it easier to copy and paste desired pieces of the text and resolving the conflict.

It is provided as a beta feature from February to May 2017.

Background
