How to compare two document versions
PURPOSE
Comparing versions helps identify what changed between drafts.
STEPS
Use the compare feature in your document editor when available. Select the original document and the revised document, then generate a comparison copy.
REVIEW
Check insertions, deletions, formatting changes, comments, and moved sections.
BEST PRACTICE
Use clear file names with dates or version numbers so the original and revised files are easy to identify.
CAUTION
Review the comparison before sharing because it may reveal edits or comments not intended for all audiences.
