+==== Items for not loaded fragments ====
+
+When a model is split into fragments, and only some of them have changes, the structure merge viewer (upper part of the comparison editor) and the content merge viewers (lower parts of the comparison editor) display the models involved in the comparison but don’t display the fragments that have no changes.
+
+If a change (x) is detected in a fragment (B), and this fragment is a child of another fragment (A) that has no changes, then (A) won't appear in the structure merge viewer (upper part of the comparison editor) and the content merge viewers (lower parts of the comparison editor). As a result, users will think (B) is the root of the global model.
+
+To avoid this, the idea is to display intermediate node(s) (represented as [ ... ]) in order to show to users that it exists something (fragments, i.e. a parts of models) between/above the changes.

==== Model Resolvers ====
For each comparison, EMF Compare needs to define which resources are about to be compared. This scope is called the logical model (see [[./../developer/logical-model.html#What_is_a_logical_model_.3F | Logical Model]]). Model resolvers are used to define strategies to build this logical model.
+The model resolvers will try and find cross referenced resources starting from the compared one in order to determine the logical model that needs to be compared along with it. This can be used to widen or reduce the scope in which EMF Compare will seek these linked resources.

-EMF Compare can prevent building the logical model. In that case, it will only compare the selected resources. To disable model resolution, uncheck the button called "Enable model resolution".
-
===== Choose a strategy =====
-By default, EMF Compare proposes 3 different strategies:
-* Default: This strategy will use the highest ranking model resolver contributed to the platform. With the basic EMF compare installation, this strategy will be "Resolve in project".
-* Resolve in project: This strategy will resolve resources referenced by the current resource and all resources referencing the current resource within its containing project.
-* Resolve descendants: This strategy will resolve all resources referenced by the current resource.
-
-In order to ask EMF Compare to use a specific strategy, first enable the model resolution (if it's not already done) and select it in the combobox.
+EMF Compare proposes different strategies:
+* Workspace: Search for cross-references to (and from) the compared resource within all models from the workspace. '''This strategy is highly recommended in case of a comparison with remote models (EGit).'''
+* Project: Search for cross-references to (and from) the compared resource within all models from its containing project.
+* Container: Search for cross-references to (and from) the compared resource within all models from the same container.
+* Outgoing: Only search for cross-references from the compared resource to its children (and recursively).
Other external strategies might be contributed to EMF Compare. In that case it may happen that the selected strategy can not handle a comparison. If it is so, EMF Compare will use the default strategy.
