Abstract:
1. A method in an electronic device performed by a control unit in the electronic device for harmonization of variants of a sequential file, comprising the following steps performed by a processor: assembling a set of sequential files from among available variants; selecting one file as a baseline file; creating a unified data structure describing the baseline file and at least one difference from the baseline file of at least one sequential file in the set; determining a grade of the at least one difference; displaying common data between the baseline file and the at least one sequential file by using a full width of a display window, and the at least one difference based on the determined grade, wherein low graded differences are shown in line in a unified display of data drawn from the unified data structure, and higher graded differences are shown in separate columns; and enabling a user to create a file, separately retrievable from the set of sequential files, incorporating elements of the different files of the set of sequential files, and to edit further changes into the created file.
