Document Comparison Considerations
The Compare Document function on the Document Management page enables the system to compare the current document with a prior, re-created, or refreshed version of the document. This function uses the Compare Document function in Microsoft Word as a background process, to create a temporary file that you can use to see the differences. You cannot check in this file to PeopleSoft because it may not contain the correct XML structure after a compare is complete.
Any document comparisons you perform with authored documents must have the protection password removed prior to running the comparison process.
