Over time, a company’s data or workflows can undergo significant changes. Referring to a previous version of an object allows users to assess improvements or identify potential regressions in the new version.
The version compare tool enables users to compare the current version of an object with all previously published and draft versions. This feature highlights any changes from the selected version to the current version.
How to use the Compare Version Tool
- Navigate to the desired object’s Details view. Process details and diagrams can be compared.
- Click on the ‘Tools’ menu.
- Hover over the ‘Compare Version’ option.
- All previous versions will be displayed.
- The published versions will be displayed first. Hover over the ‘All Version’ option to display all previous versions, including drafts.
- Click on the desired version to compare.
- The comparison will be displayed. Elements that were added are highlighted in green, elements that were deleted are highlighted in red, and elements that were modified are highlighted in yellow.
- If you are comparing process diagrams, the previous version will be on the left and the current version on the right.
- To leave the comparison, click on the ‘Exit Compare’ button.
Rules & Limitations
- When a user wants to use the version compare tool, the object must have an older version.
- Compare previous versions is not compatible with sub-process and IPL expansions turned on. If an IPL or a sub-process is expanded and the user compares previous versions, the IPL and sub-process will be collapsed.
