In Meld there is an option available to add synchronization points. Unfortunately I cannot figure out what these so called synchronization points do. I have messed around with it but it doesn't actually seem to do anything (except break live comparison).
I have checked the manual and searched around but have not been able to solve this mystery.
The option is available in the edit menu and in the context menu:

Data synchronization ensures accurate, secure, compliant data and successful team and customer experiences. It assures congruence between each source of data and its different endpoints. As data comes in, it is cleaned, checked for errors, duplication, and consistency before being put to use.
Synchronization is the coordination of events to operate a system in unison. For example, the conductor of an orchestra keeps the orchestra synchronized or in time. Systems that operate with all parts in synchrony are said to be synchronous or in sync—and those that are not are asynchronous.
UFT One must be able to identify the specified object to perform a synchronization point. To instruct UFT One to wait for an object to appear, use an Exist or Wait statement.
The intention is that the user be able to set up points in each of the files being compared, which are supposed to match up. This helps the code-matching algorithm figure out how the two files relate to each other, in cases where the differences are complex.
I'm still figuring it out by trial-and-error, setting a point in one file and then a matching point in the other. It's not working as well as I'd have hoped; I've had the sync points get into a mismatch state. But it does make things noticeably better.
