Help:Paragraph-based Edit Conflict Interface



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

It will be provided as a beta feature from February/March 2017 on.
