To compare the content of a document with its previous version or another document:

Use a search or a view to find the document that you want to compare.
Select one of these options in the document's context menu:
- Select Compare > Compare with another document to compare the current document version with another document.
  or
- Select Compare > Compare with previous version to compare the current document version with its previous 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.
