You can access the Diff Merge tool by comparing versions, resolving conflicts, or resolving collisions, during development or after upgrades.\n\n\\[Omitted image \"MergeToolComparetoVersion.png\"\\] Alt text: Diff Merge tool allows you to Compare to Current.\n\n\\[Omitted image \"MergeToolScriptEditor.png\"\\] Alt text: Use the Script Editor for large text-based fields.\n\n\\[Omitted image \"MergeToolComparetoCurrentScript.png\"\\] Alt text: Diff Merge tool - Compare to Current Script\n\n## Accessibility Functions\n\nThe platform includes accessibility features that support [Web Content Accessibility Guidelines \\(WCAG\\) 2.0 level A](https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG20/quickref/?currentsidebar=%23col_customize&levels=aa%2Caaa) and make the interface accessible to users with disabilities. These features improve the user experience when accessing platform functions with [Using accessibility features](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/platform-user-interface/keyboard-accessibility.md).\n\nIn general, you can use the following set of standard keyboard navigation functions:\n\n-   Press **Tab** to navigate major groupings in a pre-defined sequence, including moving between standard interface controls \\(fields and lists\\) in a module, or between records within a tab.\n-   Press **Shift** **Tab** to move backwards in a pre-defined sequence.\n\nVisually impaired users can navigate the Diff Merge tool. Screen readers can read all critical page content. All links and buttons can be reached when a section that is critical must be read. VoiceOver audible cues describe the content of the section that is necessary to read.\n\nTo enable accessibility functions, administrators should set these sys\\_properties:\n\n1.  Setting **glide.ui.javascript\\_editor** to false makes the following functions accessible:\n    -   Script fields \\(such as Script Include\\).\n    -   Side-by-side script comparison.\n2.  Setting sys\\_properties color settings enables high contrast visibility, which makes the left and right columns more accessible and easier to read by visually impaired users.\n    -   **mergetool.bg.left.highlight** - Left column cell color when values differ between versions.\n    -   **mergetool.bg.right.highlight** - Right column cell color when values differ between versions.\n    -   **mergetool.bg.left** - Left column cell color when version values are the same.\n    -   **mergetool.bg.right** - Right column cell color when version values are the same.\n\n**Parent Topic:**[Version records](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/team-development/r_VersionRecords.md)\n\n**Related topics**  \n\n\n[Compare to the current version](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/team-development/t_CompareToCurrentVersion.md)\n\n[Compare a pushed version to a local version](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/team-development/t_ComparePushedVerLocalVer.md)\n\n[Compare two versions of an article](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/servicenow-platform/compare-two-article-versions.md)\n\n[Resolve conflicts for an individual record](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/platform-administration/um-resolve-conflict.md)\n\n[Resolve a collision in Team Development](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/team-development/t_ResolveACollision.md)\n\n[Revert a change](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/team-development/t_RevertAChange.md)\n\n[View customizations and compare with current version](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/system-update-sets/view-customer-update-records.md)\n\n"}}
