Extend Merge/Compare tools

[fjeneau]

Is it already possible to customize/extend the UI for the compare tool? I couldn't find the plugin source code in the Maven repo.

We've implemented file versioning on the backend. (eXist XML db) We would like to have something in the compare tool that gives the user the ability to revert to the older version being compared.

Maybe this is just a matter of customizing plugin.js and repackaging?

If you have an alternate solution, I'd also be interested.

We've already integrated it. Is there a way to customize it? Is there a direct way to add a button with an new action to this tool or do I need to somehow add it separately during WebAuthor init?

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.
You can add a button with a new action in the Merge/Compare dialog, using this tutorial [1] as inspiration, except that the name of the toolbar is "DiffToolbar" instead of "DITA".

Best,
Cosmin
