VS Code compare changes, how to accept/reject

Question

Today I discovered that VS Code automatically recognizes when I open a file that has merge conflicts. In the beginning, I see several commands available, including "compare changes". I like this display far better than the other, I would like to work from it. It shows the changes at a much finer granularity. But now, I can't see buttons to accept or reject changes. Are they hiding in plain sight somewhere on this screen? Where to go from here?

Part of the issue is, I would like to edit through the conflict on a line-by-line basis, not accepting or rejecting the whole change as it was presented to me. Can this view help me with that?

Control buttons only appear when you move your mouse pointer right between the two blocks with some differences.
