Hi,  Thank you for posting on our community forums, I understand your request is to de-select specific columns from a bulk amount of columns within various tables so they are not compared between databases.  Whilst there isn't a bulk way within SQL Compare that can assist with this, it may be possible to edit the project file directly. This would take slightly longer than manually un-selecting columns/tables in the program directly but would be potentially helpful if you are planning to re-use the project file multiple times. When you create a project in SQL Compare you can save it as a .SDC file.  This file can be edited in a text editor and has an XML-format layout. Within the TableActions node, it is possible to add commands to de-select columns.  You would need to enter in each TableName & ColumnName record, save the file and then open the project in SQL Compare. As an example below, I have Deselected Columns 'DBVersion' from tableA & 'DatabaseLogID' from tableB: <TableActions type="ArrayList" version="1">   <value version="1" type="SelectTableEvent">     <action>DeselectColumn</action>     <ColumnName>DBVersion:DBVersion</ColumnName>     <TableName>[dbo].[tableA]:[dbo].[tableA]</TableName>   </value>   <value version="1" type="SelectTableEvent">     <action>DeselectColumn</action>     <ColumnName>DatabaseLogID:DatabaseLogID</ColumnName>     <TableName>[dbo].[tableB]:[dbo].[tableB]</TableName>   </value> </TableActions> This is a workaround and may require some testing in your environment to see if it can work for you. / comments
