Is there a feature in Oxygen XML Editor to compare two ditamaps?

Hello
Is there a feature in Oxygen XML Editor to compare two ditamaps? I tried the compare files feature but it seems that it can only compare two dita files.

Hi,
You can use Oxygen's Compare Files utility to compare two DITA Maps, but only the actual XML content of those DITA Maps is compared.
You could also use Oxygen's Compare Directories utility to compare two project folders if each of them contains for example all the topics and maps of a publication.
How would you envision such a DITA Map comparison to work? Somehow like having each DITA Map with its topic reference expanded to the topic content and then compare these large expanded DITA Maps one to the other?

Thank you Radu. Something is wrong with my images. The reason why I want to compare two ditamaps is because for example, I got a ditamp sent to translation on April 2 and later I modified the same ditamap and wanted to send this updated ditamap to translation, I want to know what's been updated and so that I only need to pay for the translation of the updated content.

Hi,
As I previously mention maybe our "Compare Directories" utility from the "Tools->Comparison tools" menu might help.
Maybe this free Translation Package builder add-on we provide might also help: https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-addons ... addon.html
