We’re excited to roll out powerful enhancements to the Compare tool—designed to make your workflow even smoother and more efficient. With this latest enhancement, you can now compare not only revisions but any files or artworks from your projects or the Media Center.

 

Compare artworks in Viewer

Here’s how it works:

  • Select any two artworks you'd like to compare. With just a click, open them in the Viewer to see them side by side.
  • Use the compare tool in the Viewer to select files from Projects or Media Center, or to compare different revisions. 

Previously, comparisons were limited to revisions or files within the Media Center. Now, with the expanded functionality of the Compare tool, you can compare any files and artworks across Projects or Media Center. This added flexibility is invaluable for streamlining the review process, allowing you to easily spot differences, ensure quality, and make more informed decisions about your work. Whether you're comparing drafts, different versions, or entirely separate artworks, this tool empowers you to navigate your creative process with greater precision and efficiency.

For a detailed walkthrough on making the most of this powerful feature, check out our YouTube tutorial:

 

Key Benefits of the Compare Tool

The Compare tool is designed to streamline the artwork review process by allowing users to juxtapose any two files or artworks from their projects or the Media Center. This functionality is invaluable for identifying differences, ensuring quality, and making informed decisions.

Why Comparison Matters in Artwork Management

In creative workflows, precision is everything. The smallest deviation in typography, color, or layout can have a ripple effect across packaging lines, product launches, or brand consistency. The Compare tool helps eliminate guesswork by giving stakeholders a precise and visual way to identify changes—down to the pixel.

Collaboration Without Confusion

Without a visual comparison tool, teams often rely on manual feedback, long comment threads, or vague references to file names and versions. The Compare tool bridges that gap by making visual differences clear and undeniable. Whether you're a designer, marketer, or compliance officer, it ensures that everyone is looking at the same information, interpreted the same way.
