Comparing Documents
For this exercise, use the Arbortext XML DocBook document you modified in the previous exercise.
You can compare the differences between two documents using the compare feature. The documents must either use the same document type, or they must both be free-form XML.
Follow these steps to compare your document to the last saved version of the document:
1. Save your document.
2. Modify the document by adding or deleting text, tags, and so forth.
3. Choose Tools > Compare > Last Saved.
The Compare window opens. This window is an Arbortext Editor view that highlights the changes made since the last time you saved the document.
4. Close the Compare window.
5. Close your document.
For more information, refer to the Document Comparison Overview topic in the Arbortext Editor help.
This completes the first part of the Arbortext Editor tutorial. In the next part of the tutorial, you will learn how to use Arbortext Editor to author DITA (Darwin Information Typing Architecture) documents.
