Last updated on 10 April 2026

Daily user

To compare the content of two document versions:

Use a search or a view to find the document that you want to compare.
Select Open version history in the document's context menu.
Press and hold down the Ctrl key and select two versions.
Select Compare selected documents in the context menu for either version.
In the Compare documents dialog, use the Previous change and Next change buttons, the navigation links in the Change Summary list, or scroll through the document.
Optional: To save a copy of the comparison in PDF or DOCX format, use the commands Save as PDF, Save as DOCX, or Track changes.
Save as DOCX creates a simple Microsoft Word version of the comparison that you see in the Document compare dialog. Track changes creates a document that lets you control the tracked changes from the Review tab in Microsoft Word.
