Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for a dynamic multi-context delta view for merging structured data in a visual merge tool. In one embodiment of the invention, a method for providing a dynamic multi-context delta view can include rendering a compare view of a merged state for a selected model to include model controls each corresponding to a different model state for the selected model. The method further can include detecting a transient proximity event in connection with a particular one of the model controls. The method yet further can include identifying a corresponding model state for the particular one of the model controls. Finally, the method can include replacing the merged state with the corresponding model state in the compare view.
