Comparing Clause Revisions

You can view and compare the revisions made to clauses in the Contract Editor and Word Editor.

About this task

Consider the following points about comparing clause revisions:
  • Changes made to term values are not captured in the clause revisions, because changes to terms does not create clause revisions.
  • During clause revision comparison on the Contract Editor Language tab, any addition, deletion, modification within a paragraph in the clause is considered as a modification for comparison purposes.
