Find Differences Between Versions

You can open this dialog, Determine changes between versions, by means of the Compare versions... menu item from the Extras menu. It allows you to compare two versions of the selected file with each other in order to determine the differences between these versions:

In the upper section of the dialog you can select the base version (normally the original, older version) and the target version (mostly a more recent version such as the draft version). If the file concerned has a large number of versions, a drop-down menu is displayed instead of radio buttons.

In the lower section you can select the fields that are to be compared with each other. If the file has many fields, a multiple-selection list is displayed instead of check boxes.

After having selected the versions and the fields to be compared, please click Next to perform the comparison. On the results page, the changes are displayed for each field using font styles. Red, struck-through text no longer exists in the target version, green text in italics has been added to the target version:

Click Back to compare other versions or fields with each other, or Close to terminate the wizard.

Administrators can configure the wizard in the diff section of the wizards.xml configuration file located in the config directory of the CMS instance concerned.
