# Compare Versions

***

### 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>

<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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.maker.co/features/compare-versions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
