Comparing Page XML

As of Ingeniux CMS 10.1, the Diff Page XML button on the History tab allows you to compare version metadata as well as content within the XML tags. This feature may be particularly useful to CMS developers and administrators.

Note
The corresponding button on an Asset's History tab compares version content rather than XML.
To compare the XML of page versions:
  1. After checking out a page, navigate to its History tab.
  2. Click Diff Page XML and select one of the following page XML comparisons in the drop-down list:
    Note
    Select a prior version in the Available Versions list to activate Diff Page XML options.

    Against Previous VersionThis option compares the selected version with the previous version (e.g., If 8 is the current version, then it is compared to version 7).
