In this instance we can see that the Product Build had parallel versions after 2.0 Build 2 and that these were merged into 3.0 Build 2.

 

The originally selected item is highlighted with a red border. Items in their final state are shaded gray.

 

Right-clicking a version gives a subset of the standard right-click menu.

 

Multiple versions may be selected by holding down the control key whilst clicking.

 

The two buttons top left Version Pedigree Buttons1 allow copying the image to the clipboard or saving the image as a .jpg.
