Compare project revisions

The Compare project revisions dialog

Summary

The Compare project revisions dialog is used to compare two revisions of a PCB Fabrication Data Item, PCB Assembly Data Item, or PCB Project Design Item. This is a comparison of the generated file structure and a check of the files within that structure. Color-coded options are used to show files that have changed or not changed and those that have been added or removed.
