Oxygen XML Forum

Hi We have a requirement where we will be using oxygen web author as editing tool.
Now we also have requirement to see differences just like we can see in diffFiles tool. Issue is that tool is desktop application where as we wants to provide this capability to all users in one of our web application. How do you think we can do this?

Any possible ways to achieve this?

Hello,

We currently do not have a web equivalent of the diffFiles tool. I registered a feature request for this. In order to design this new feature I would appreciate some input from you:

- Do your audience prefer to have a "text-mode" view of the XML document, or a "author-mode" similar with what you see in Web Author?
- Do you want this tool to be a diff viewer or you actually want it to be a merge tool in which you can merge changes in the left document.

As an alternative solution you may want to check out our partner Delta XML products. They have several Diff tools available.

Best,
Cristian

Hi Cristian,

- Do your audience prefer to have a "text-mode" view of the XML document, or a "author-mode" similar with what you see in Web Author?

Author Mode

- Do you want this tool to be a diff viewer or you actually want it to be a merge tool in which you can merge changes in the left document.

Only diff viewer.

Thanks for your inputs. Yes I am looking in to that solution from delta xml products.

Hi,

We just released the 21.1.1 version of Web Author and it includes the possibility to compare different versions of a file or different files.
Here you can find a list of some features and improvements that were added in this version: https://www.oxygenxml.com/xml_web_author/whats_new.html
