When a page has a draft, you can compare it against "Latest" to see exactly what's changed before you merge. The comparison is a read-only view of the page with every change highlighted in place, so reviewers don't have to flick between versions to see what changed.

To open a comparison, see Compare changes in Drafting a page.

Reading the highlights

Text changes are shown in place:

  • New text has a blue highlight.
  • Deleted text is struck through, in grey, where it used to be.
  • Replaced text shows both: the old wording struck through, followed by the new wording highlighted.
New text highlighted, deleted text struck through, and replaced text showing both

Blocks that aren't text (images, embeds, tables, live code, design tokens and so on) are compared as a whole, and get a labelled frame instead:

  • New content (blue): the block was added in the draft.
  • Updated content (blue): the block, or its settings, changed. The draft version is shown.
  • Deleted content (red): the block was removed in the draft. It's shown back in its original position so you can see what's gone.

If the page has been renamed, the title shows the change too: the old name struck through, the new name highlighted.

Changes in tabs

Tabs get a small marker after their label, so changes behind a tab you're not looking at aren't missed. This works for page tabs and for tabs blocks in the page content.

  • Plus icon (blue): New tab
  • Pencil icon (blue): Edited tab (its content or visibility changed)
  • Minus icon (red): Deleted tab, with the tab name struck through
Tab markers for an edited, deleted, renamed and new tab

A renamed tab shows the change in the label itself: old name struck through, new name highlighted. Click a deleted tab to see its "Latest" content, read-only. Hidden tabs stay visible while comparing, so a change behind a hidden tab can't slip through.

👉 Note: Reordering tabs isn't shown as a change.

FAQs

Why does a block say "Updated content" when its text looks the same?

A setting on the block changed, or the block is a type that's compared as a whole (like an image or a table). The frame tells you the block changed; the content shown is the draft version.

What does the comparison look like if nothing has changed?

The page renders as normal, with no highlights.

Are comments shown as changes?

No. Adding or resolving comments doesn't show up in the comparison.
