Compare page versions in an overall view

Question

Hi,

I was wondering if there is an option to view an entire document with highighted changes from the a previously versions .

When I use the version comparison, the document is always reduced to the passages where changes have been made - passages without changes are hidden.

For a review, it would be much easier to view the entire document to get the context of a (changed) paragraph.

Thanks and best regards,

Thilo

Hey @Sebastian Sitter

I now can reproduce this.

I think, this is a feature for not showing uninteresting texts.

I would suggest you to contact Atlassian support and ask them about it:

Hi Dominic,

sorry for the delay.

My Version is

* Powered by Atlassian Confluence 7.3.5

You can reproduce this, if you take a long page, let's say 10.000 Words. If I put one change to an paragraph only this paragraph is shown when I compare two versions of the document - or, to be more specific, only the change and the surrounding lines are shown.... I pu an Secreenshot below.

Three dots ("...") represent the "missing" Content. I understand, that this a feature, not a bug - If you are interested in getting a quick overview of he changes made...

To do a whole document review, it would be better to get a wider view to get the whole document including the highlighted changes.

Best regards, Thilo

Hi @Thilo Rees

I can't reproduce your behaviour.

When I compare two pages, the whole page is displayed and I see everything, even the text that was not adjusted.

Which version do you have on confluence?
