Design comparison in the context of a review

The design comparison page in the context of a review has the same features as the Design comparison page, except that review elements such as comments and findings from the compared resources are present in the comparison interface. The comparison must necessarily be made between a version of a design currently under review and another version of it.

The selection bar at the top of the page includes a selection field for a review of the current project. The designs for which comparison in the review context is possible are those included in the selected review.

Comparison with the previously reviewed version

The comparison with the previously reviewed version can only be done in one direction. The previously reviewed version is the origin of the comparison, and the version under review is the target.

At the start of a review, there cannot yet be any previously reviewed versions.

In the version selection fields, labels are present to easily identify the version under review and the previously reviewed version. When hovered, they display the creation or last publication date of the version. Labels for other versions display this information by default.

Comparison with the most recent version of the design under review

The comparison can only be done in one direction. The version under review is the origin of the comparison, and the most recent version is the target. The most recent version of the design is present on its main stream. This stream is available in the target versions for comparison.

As soon as the origin version of the comparison is the one under review, a button in the selection bar at the top of the page allows replacing the version under review with the target version. The initially reviewed version then becomes the previously reviewed version.

Other comparisons

The comparison between the version under review and another baseline of the design can be made in both directions. If the target version is older than the version under review, an indicator in the selection bar at the top of the page will appear.

Comments and comments preview

The right pane of the screen displays the comments of the selected resource if there are any. The displayed comments are those present in the version of the resource that is under review.

As soon as the origin version of the comparison is the one under review and a resource appears modified, the comment preview mode is enabled.
