Web UI

Firefly Web UI is a powerful feature. It is not just an information portal where properties and statistics about controlled objected are displayed. You can complete a series of tasks like branch, label creation, ACL setup and so on. Also, the Web UI makes code review easier than ever.

Graphical Version Tree

Firefly provides a graphical version tree to intuitive display of file versions. It is able to display file versions in two modes: file complete versions and file versions by development streams.

VDM

Firefly can intelligently resolve most of the conflicts, but when the unfortunate occurs and you have to step in, Hansky Visual Diff-Merge is here to help. Hansky VDM is a graphical compare and conflict resolve tool integrated into Firefly. It supports compare and 3-way merge. If you have a better third party merge tool, you can integrate it with Firefly as well.
