    Default Compare drafts with original

    One of the challenges we have been facing is finding out what the difference is
    between the original page and the page sent for review/publishing. I know there
    is a software in Dream weaver that can be installed and will compare two files,
    but in my scenario, this is useless.

    Has anyone came across something that might help? Even a plug in software.

    Cheers

    If RollBack in enabled, then you can view the previous versions of that page. You can also rollback to the previous version.

    Yes, it is enabled. Will I be able to see exactly what the changes are? Or would I need a compare software?

    You can only see the previous versions of the page. You can't compare and view
    the changes between any two versions, using contribute. The previous Version
    of the page are placed inside the folder _baks in .bak format, with a proper
    naming conversions.

    I see. I tried it to. We wanted to use Contribute for another project but it
    required the editor being able to see exactly what changes where made (draft
    vs. original) but I guess that won't do.

    Thanks a lot for your help with this. Appreciated.
