Version Control + document comparison

Comparison between version control and document revision marks is an important part of document management. In Sharepoint, Version Control is supported by default. In mdms2003, the document revision function of word2003 and event handler are used to retain the document revision marks to SharePoint. A similar method is used in mdms2007.

However, on that day, Mr. Xiong suddenly discovered a very good built-in version comparison function in word2007, and he could use the client to replace the crude document revision mark record. It also supports comparison with the document version in Sharepoint. (Word is really a very powerful thing, but we have never used 80% of the features ......)

For example, a document in the Document Library has the following version records:

Open this document online (read-only or editable) and use the version comparison function:

It can be compared with the previous major version, the latest version, or any version of this document on SharePoint. We chose version 1.0:

You can select the content contained in the comparison process. A friendly page will be opened to list the differences between the two versions of the document (and you can easily jump to several different sections) and the original texts of the two documents. (Note that the original text is not modified by revision. That is to say, the differences between versions are obtained through similarity calculation)

In addition, we can save the comparison results (including the differences between the two versions) into a document (this won't happen)

Conclusion! This is a very useful feature! However, there are also some disadvantages, that is, the document version is not detailed enough to compare the sentence and sentence, and the words modified in the sentence can only be viewed by the human eye.
