What is Compare Versions?
Compare Versions lets you compare two versions of a record of any record type to analyze differences between them. Using Compare Versions you can easily identify any additions, modifications or deletions that were made to a record.
Differences are highlighted by color, depending on the type of change.
Default colors used for understanding differences are:
- Red color indicates that the content was deleted.
- Blue color indicates that the content was added.
- Green color indicates that the content was modified.
You can view differences for either all fields of a record or only the fields that have differences.
You can view comparison result in the following two views:
- Merged view where both versions of a record are displayed in a single view with the original content and changed content displayed next to each other. Each row represents a field for which the differences are displayed.
- Split view where both versions of a record are displayed in two columns i.e. side-by-side. Each row represents a field for which the differences are displayed.
You can access Compare Versions from within the History tab of a record’s editor.
