This user guide will show you how to select a policy and see what changes have occurred to the document from a specified point in time (known as ‘Highlight Changes’) as well as how to compare two versions of that document (Compare Versions).

Locate the document you would like to view changes on from either the Policy Centre, the dashboard’s “Recent Updates” section or by using the “Find a document” search bar, located on the right hand side of the screen.

Selecting to Highlight Changes

Once located please tick the checkbox under “Highlight Changes” and then click the document title or PDF icon to open it.

Date Range pop up box

A pop up screen will appear with a drop down menu, asking you to select the date range you would like to view changes in (point 1). The option to apply a custom date is also available (last option on the drop down menu) if you would like to choose a particular date range to view the changes (see Custom Date box below).

Click Ok to generate the document (point 2).

Custom Date pop up box

The above pop up will appear if you have selected a custom date. By clicking the From and To box you can either type in the required date or select it from the automated calendar that will appear.

Summary Screen pop up box

Once you have clicked Ok to generate the document, a summary screen will appear showing what changes have occurred, when and why.

Once you’ve clicked ‘Continue’ from the summary screen, please wait while the system computes the submitted information and loads the changes.

The selected document will then appear as a preview, highlighting in green information that has been inserted and highlighting in pink with strike-through text information that has been removed.

As well as being able to see what changes have occurred to a document, this feature also allows you to compare versions of the document side by side.

To Compare Versions, follow the same steps as above, but after entering your date range, click Compare Versions, rather than OK.

Comparing Versions

2. Here you have a sliding timeline, each line indicating a date that changes have been made to the document. You can navigate the different dates by sliding the arrows with your cursor.
