Comparing and restoring versions

What it is

Each time a draft is saved with changes, a new version is created. In the document header you see, for example, «Version 2 of 2». The comparison shows two versions together and marks in colour what was added, what was removed and what was changed.

If you prefer an earlier form of the text, you restore it with one button.

Why it helps

You don't have to read the whole document again to find what changed after an edit, a revision by the Agent or a «Review with AI». You see only the differences. Restoring deletes nothing: the old version is copied as a new one, so the whole history stays available.

The comparison shows differences in the text. It does not judge whether a change is legally right. Changes that come from the Agent are drafting suggestions for your review, not legal advice. Checking the final text remains your job.

How to get started

1. 1

   Open the comparison

   In a document with more than one version, click the two-column icon in the document header («Compare»).

2. 2

   Choose the versions

   In the «Old» and «New» fields, choose which versions to compare. By default the active version is compared with the one before it.

3. 3

   Read the changes

   Above the text you see the totals, for example "6 added · 0 removed · 3 changed". In the «Legend:» red means «Removed», yellow «Changed» and green «Added». On the left is «Version 1 (old)» and on the right «Version 2 (new)».

4. 4

   Change the view

   «Single column» shows the changes within one continuous text. «Side by side» takes you back to two columns.

5. 5

   Close the comparison

   Click «Exit comparison» to return to the editor.

Tips

• If you don't remember what a colour means, click «What do the colours mean?».
• In very large documents word-level highlighting is turned off and changes are marked by paragraph.

If you change your mind: restoring

In the comparison, click «Restore version 1» (the number is that of the old version you selected) and confirm with «Restore». The version is copied to the end of the history as a new version and becomes the active one. Newer versions are not deleted.

Credits

Comparing and restoring use no credits.

Why do I see "These versions are identical"? The two versions you selected have the same text. Pick a different pair.

Do I lose anything when I restore? No. The old version is copied as a new one and all earlier versions stay in the history.
