Compare Diagram Versions SERVER | DATA CENTER CLOUD

Aside allowing you to manage and review diagram versions, you can also compare them and see all changes depicted in the diagram as well as listed in a table.

To do this go to View > Compare diagram versions or use the compare button in the toolbar. You are asked to choose two versions you want to compare. After confirming your choice, you have the two versions displayed side-by-side. Changes are colored according to whether something was added, deleted, moved or changed. You can click on the entry in the List of Changes and the process element will be highlighted in the two diagrams.

If an element has changed attributes, e.g. name or description, it will be displayed with an attribute box, showing the old and new values of attributes. These boxes can be toggled by clicking on the element directly, or you can toggle them all at once by clicking on the “Changed” Symbol in the top right corner.
