Compare Product Revision¶

The Compare Product Revision feature allows the selection and comparison of different versions of the same product. It also allows merging of specific values from previous versions into the latest version.

Key Term:	Property: a data field which describes a product, can also use ‘attribute’.
Description:	This feature allows a user to compare versions of a product/article. This feature gives an overview of the similarities and differences of comparable versions and merges values from any previous version to the newer version. This feature creates a comparison table that shows columns for the product versions and rows for the attributes. This table allows quick and easy comparison between each offering’s features and characteristics.
Related topics:	Bulk Edit Edit Data in a Grid View
Application:	A user can track all the changes that are made to a product/article. Based on values, a user can merge a value from a previous version to the newer one. Example: For a Red Bull product, a short description is initially provided and then later, some additional changes are done (which are not required). In the timeline, a user can compare these two versions and merge the appropriate values for the description.
