Document comparison: input checklist
Prepare a small, representative source pack. Start with two approved document versions and plan a cited change summary.
Available remotely for local and international enquiries. Platform choice and final scope depend on your requirements.
The project in view
- Start with
- two approved document versions.
- Proposed result
- a cited change summary.
- A decision to resolve
- formatting changes obscuring a substantive edit.
This is a planning example. It does not describe a completed client engagement.
Input checklist for this project
- Start with two approved document versions. Keep file names and revision dates intact.
- Include an example that demonstrates formatting changes obscuring a substantive edit.
- Share anonymised samples for initial discussion and identify the owner of the originals.
Questions to answer together
- Which source is authoritative, and which version applies?
- Can a complete example and an incomplete example be supplied?
- Who can approve sharing the files and explain their fields?
What to have at the end
An input register with file names, versions, owners and missing information.
Record the decision on formatting changes obscuring a substantive edit alongside the source material. If it is still unresolved, identify who can answer it and what work depends on the answer.
