So as not to run out of computer resources, it is highly recommended that you run the comparison list in group mode in more than one session. Make sure that on the Actions menu, the Build Item List menu command is not selected (no check mark beside the command) — this speeds up the process. There is may be no need to create a table list for merging if you do not intend to use it at that time. The following table summarizes the recommendations for the multi-session procedure.

You can reduce the amount of data to be merged by selecting fewer item types, depending on the comparison information you require.
