Microsoft Word contains functionality to compare two versions of a document for redlining purposes. We have linked into this from Smokeball to enable you to compare documents in your matters.
Compare two different documents in a matter
To compare documents in your matter document list:
- Hold Ctrl and click to select two documents.

The comparison is displayed in the centre of the window as a third document which highlights the differences between the two documents. This allows you to make or validate any changes before saving. - To save the compared document back to Smokeball, select Save As from the Smokeball ribbon in the top-left corner.
