Workshare Compare is a document comparison tool designed to make the process of editing and revising documents as fast and efficient as possible. Workshare Compare enables you to compare documents – the original document and the modified document – and produce a comparison (Redline) document, enabling you to instantly see any differences between them. In one view, you can see both the original documents and the comparison document. You can compare a document against another single document or against multiple documents and see the Redline document for each comparison in a different tab. You can compare Microsoft Word documents (DOC/DOCX files), RTF files and PDF files. Within a Microsoft Word file, you can compare all content including images, tables and embedded Microsoft Excel tables. For users who have a DMS, Workshare Compare provides access to version information stored in the DMS. Understanding differences between one version of a document and the next is a critical function when editing and reviewing documents in multi-user environments. The Workshare Compare module utilizes Workshare DeltaView - the market-leading and most advanced comparison engine in the market today, to perform comparisons accurately and seamlessly. Comparison results are displayed within Microsoft Word or in a separate Workshare Compare window. Workshare Compare’s fast, accurate and reliable document comparison capabilities enable you to quickly compare even the most difficult and complex documents. You can review the Redline document by navigating between the changes. To make the review easier, you can select different rendering sets to determine how the changes are highlighted within the document. A statistical summary at the end of the Redline document enables you to precisely match the document changes. In addition, Workshare Compare preserves the technical integrity and style of the document – preventing your document from becoming corrupt or inadvertently incorporating foreign formatting or style. This not only benefits you through higher document quality, but also through increased productivity as well as reducing stress at deadlines. Features and Benefits Workshare Compare is powerful comparison software. Its key benefits include: Advanced Document Comparison Compare one document against multiple modified versions or revisions within context of one another. Workshare Compare utilizes an industry-leading document comparison engine to excel at long and complex documents as well as comparing auto-numbered paragraphs, font changes and complicated formatting, even in tables.

What’s New in Workshare Compare 5.2 SR3 Product quality, usability and performance are the top priorities for Workshare Compare 5.2 Service Release 3 (SR3) and it offers the following new features. Improved Table Comparison Workshare Compare includes advanced table comparison capabilities. Support for Drawing Tools Workshare Compare now supports the comparison of Microsoft Word’s drawing tools, such as SmartArt and shapes. After running a comparison, Workshare Compare shows whether drawings have been modified, deleted or inserted. In order for Workshare Compare to compare drawings the rendering set applied must be configured so that the Detect changes to Images parameter (Comparison Options category) is selected and the Ignore Embedded Objects/Images parameter (Comparison Options category) is NOT selected. 4 WORKSHARE COMPARE RELEASE NOTES Change Default Redline Name Workshare Compare now enables the user to specify the default name for a Redline document or to select to use the document ID as the default name for the Redline document. These new options are configurable. Two new parameters are included in the Document Management category of the Workshare Compare Configuration Manager as follows: Set Default Filename for Redline Comparison: The default name for a Redline document when it is saved. Use Doc ID/Doc Numbers as default filename for Redline Comparison: If selected, the document ID or number is used as the default name for a Redline document when it is saved. Customizable Quick Access Toolbar The Workshare Compare Quick Access Toolbar provides one-click access to functionality available in the Home, Review and View Ribbons. Now more commands are available in the Quick Access Toolbar and more commands can be added. By default, the Save, Act on Changes, Print, Email, Email as Track Changes, Swap, Edit Redline and Act on Changes buttons are available. By clicking the arrow to the right of the Quick Access Toolbar, you can customize the Quick Access Toolbar and add further commands if required. Change Comparison Type from Ribbon You can now re-run a comparison using a different comparison mode (or type) as well as customize how the compare is performed directly from the following options in the Home Ribbon of Workshare Compare: From the Compare Mode dropdown list, the user can select a different comparison mode, for example, Fast, Text Only or Image Based PDF. Workshare Compare re-runs the comparison in the selected mode. By clicking Edit Options, the user can access the Comparison Options page in the Rendering Set Manager where they can edit the comparison options and Workshare Compare re-runs the comparison using the revised comparison options. 5 WORKSHARE COMPARE RELEASE NOTES What’s New in the Install Workshare Microsoft Office Integration Workshare Compare can be installed with or without Microsoft Office integration. You select Office Integration during the installation procedure in order to integrate your selected modules within Microsoft Office. This option is selected by default. If you want to change the integration of Workshare Compare with Microsoft Office applications, you can re-run the Workshare Configuration Assistant and then select between the different Microsoft Office applications. By deselecting the checkboxes, you can configure Workshare Compare to run without Microsoft Office integration. For example, by deselecting Integrate with Microsoft Word, there will be no Workshare Panel or Workshare menu/tab available in Microsoft Word. In this case, the comparison functionality is only available from the Workshare Compare application. The Integrate with Microsoft Outlook option refers to the Workshare Compare Outlook integration. So, for example, if you install Workshare Compare with no Microsoft Outlook integration, when you receive an email with an attachment, the Compare Attachment with Workshare button/dropdown list will not be available. Additionally, you can select the Save templates in STARTUP folder to save the Workshare templates to the Microsoft Word STARTUP folder.
