Comparing Documents

TeamView can be used to compare Documents you have access to. The two documents are overlaid on each other to enable a side by side comparison. For Vector files (such as .DWG) an intelligent overlay occurs so that differences are automatically highlighted. For non-Vector files the content is not compared, just overlaid.

To compare two different documents:

  1. In the Document Register, select the two documents to compare.

  1. Select More then Compare.

  2. The two documents will then appear overlaid within TeamView.

To compare two revisions of the same document:

  1. In the Document Register, select the document (any revision).

  1. Select More then Compare.

  1. When prompted, select the revisions of the document and click Compare.

  2. Alternatively select the revisions of the document to compare in the Document Register then select Compare from the More menu.

For large files the comparison can take some time to prepare.
