How to compare different versions of a document.
The old days of emailing Word documents with redlined track changes are over, SeedLegals dynamically builds documents based on the deal terms you set. When amending the terms of an agreement, or looking for differences between two documents, SeedLegals has a feature that allows you to compare them side by side.
The “Compare Document’’ feature allows you to upload two versions of the same document and generate a side-by-side comparison.
STEP 1:
Go to ‘My Documents’ in the top left of the navigation panel and click on the ‘Compare Documents’ tab, as shown below:
STEP 2:
Upload the old version of the document on the left, and the newest version of the document on the right, and click ‘compare’.
👉 If needed, here's an article that explains how to download a document or save it as a pdf !
If you are unable to upload your document, please try editing the file name of your document and remove any special characters (like commas, plus signs, ampersands, any brackets etc.). Characters you can use in the file names are _ - SPACE / . and any upper case and lower case letters as well as any numbers. Once you've done this, attempt to upload the file again. This should resolve the issue.
Once this is done, you are transferred to another tab, where the two documents will be placed side by side and any changes in the documents will be highlighted.
