Compare versions

Whenever a published review has more than one version, you can compare two versions.

Important considerations
  • If you want to make other fields visible in the review, an organization administrator can configure item type views for Reading View or Single Item View to show those fields.

  • Typically, item fields contain fewer than 10,000 characters (2,000 words). When you compare review versions, the applications might skip fields with lengthy content.

  • The date and version a comment was added appears in the comment.

    Comments include its date and which version it was added to.

To compare versions:

  1. From the review with the versions you want to compare, select Compare.

    In a review, select Compare.
  2. Select the versions drop-down menu near the review title to select the version you want to compare to the current review.

    In the review, use the versions drop-down menu to select a version to compare.

    Changes are displayed inline. Deleted text is red and highlighted. Added text is green and underlined.

    Inline difference are color-coded: green = added text; red = deleted text.

    The "compare view" displays inline changes for most field types. If the field can't be compared, you see the message: Not available for reviews.
