SoftBench File Compare initially leaves the left and right columns blank, indicating that you have not made a decision as to which side to save. If you just want to compare and not merge files, you can ignore the left and right columns.

Selecting Lines for Merging

These buttons enable you to choose which version of the currently highlighted difference you want to put into a merged file. You may want to choose "Options: Move Forward after Selection" to automatically go to the next difference after making a selection.

Left	Marks the Left File version of the highlighted
	difference as the version you want included in the
	merged file.
Both	Marks both sides of the currently highlighted
	difference to be included in the merged file. The text
	from the left side is written to the output file before the
	text from the right side.
Right	Marks the Right File version of the highlighted
	difference as the version you want included in the
	merged file.
None	Marks neither side of the highlighted difference as the
	version you want included in the merged file.
