Side-by-side comparison highlighting only changes in revisions or versions

Side-by-side comparison highlighting only changes in revisions or versions

The problem we are trying to solve: when managers review ECOs for approval, and sometimes checkers, they must review the entire drawing/part/assembly. Often, with a new version or revision, we really just need them to review the latest changes. We'd like to highlight those changes to save time and make checking/reviewing easier, and make checkers and reviewers more likely to quickly check and review.

The ask: Allow the viewer in Vault Thin Client (or Pro, or ADR) compare visualizations side-by-side and highlight changes in this version or revision, similar to how code compiler programs (or Notepad++) compare code files side-by-side and show deletions/additions/changes, or similar to how Microsoft Office products show Track Changes. This would allow our reviewers, approvers, and checkers to review only the changes made in this revision or version.

@Anonymous Thanks for posting the idea. The ability to view comparisons between files would have to be provided by the Viewer software (ADR or other viewer) not Vault. Vault calls out to the viewer to open the selected file(s) but it doesn't open files itself. So if the viewer was already able to do this type of comparison you described, then Vault could call the viewer in a different manner to do the comparison. So your request would have to start with the viewer.
