***

### K**ey Benefits**

* Spot exactly what changed between two versions in seconds.
* Quickly decide whether to keep the update or revert it with confidence.

***

### **Steps**

* Open your project.
* Click the project title dropdown at the top left of the editor.
* Select **Compare versions**.

To exit the comparison view, click **Back to preview**.

***

### How it works

The comparison view splits your screen into two panels:

* **Before**: the earlier version
* **After**: the later version

Each panel shows a live preview of the selected version.

#### Choose which versions to compare

Each panel includes a version picker dropdown that shows:

* Version name (for example, “Version 1” or “Current version”)
* Who created it
* When it was created

You can change either side independently to compare any two versions, like Version 1 vs Version 5.

***

### Tips

* If Maker suggests reviewing changes, you may see clickable comparison buttons in chat. Clicking one opens a version comparison with the relevant versions pre-selected.
* Version comparison is available only when your project has **2 or more** versions.

### FAQ

<details>

<summary><strong>Can I edit in comparison view?</strong></summary>

No. Version comparison is read-only. Click **Back to preview** to return to the editor and make changes.

<details>

<summary><strong>What counts as a version?</strong></summary>

Each prompt you send to Maker creates a new version. The version captures the state of your project files at that moment so that you can compare or return to it later.
