Section-Level Merge Modes

EXM files ship with section-level merge modes already defined according to section content. Merge modes determine how section information is handled when an updated EXM file is deployed to the terminal where an existing version of that EXM file is stored.

Merge modes are indicated by folder icons and in the Status bar.

	the target file, then adds the new information from the bar code.
