💡Please note: This feature is available on our Professional and Enterprise plans.

It is often difficult to see if changes have been added to new versions of your files.

With the version compare feature, you can open two versions of the same file to have a side-by-side comparison view. You can see exactly which changes have been made on one screen and leave additional feedback.

How to compare versions of your files

  1. Open the file you are going to work with.

  2. Click the Compare button on the top of the screen. By default, the system will open the two most recent versions.

  3. If you would like to choose another version, either from a different or the same review step, you can choose it from the version menu on the top bar.

  4. To exit the compare versions mode, click the arrow on the upper left corner of your screen.

How to hide comments when comparing versions

  1. Click the hide comments button of the comment section you would like to hide. The comments section will collapse on the side of your screen depending on which version’s comments you want to hide.

  2. You can reopen each section by clicking the comments button again.
